Elders Miller, Jenkins, and Cornilles had the opportunity of teaching a young Tongan girl, Ashley Siasau. She was baptized on September 12, 2009. It was a great baptism and Elder Miller spoke on the Holy Ghost. After the baptism there was a Tongan feast--lots and lots of food. In the Tongan culture it is an insult if you decline or do not eat a lot. The Elders did not want to hurt any feelings so they "forced" themselves to comply with the custom.
