Stories: Mapusaga Plantation from Elder Burton
Displaying 1 - 1 of 1 -- Add Story
| I think the history book last published Is great, but as with all history’s some important things is sometimes left out, because of lack of information etc I was surprised that was little said about the building of the Mapusaga School, and the people that ran the school, and all the construction missionary families that came from the US that lived in a little village they had constructed for themselves, while serving; and nothing said about the Mapusaga Plantation, on which I served for seventeen months with Elder Merrill, and as you know we had beef cattle there that we raised and sold. A construction missionary came over to the plantation and constructed a house for Elder Merrill and myself, on a concrete slab that the Marines left there. I went over to the school site and used the power tools there to make the doors and the cabinets, and I painted the house, since painting was my trade. The Mapusaga Plantation played a huge role in the mission at that time. I'm wondering if that little house is still there. I remember one time when we went to mission conference, we took a bull with us, on the boat, for the Sauniatu Plantation.
Thanks: Elder Burton |
