Most of the time we go to the Betongolo Ward where we live,
but every chance we get we go with the Richards, the Humanitarian couple, to
visit a different Ward.
There are currently 19 or 20 Wards in two Stakes here in
Tana. Before long they are going to
split us into a third Stake. They are in
the process of building two new Stake Centers here right now. Right now there are three ‘regular’ Chapels
here in Tana and the rest of the Wards meet in rented buildings.
The Ampititofika Ward meets in the ‘Tree House’ Church. It is basically three or four buildings put
together.

| Ampititofika Church also known as Tree House Church |
The tree house part of the
name comes from some of the stairways used to get from one floor to the
next. The stairway that goes up to the
Bishop’s office is really steep and you need to watch carefully so that you
don’t bump your head.
At the top there
are a couple of steps that go to the right and they meet some other stairs
going up to the third floor. The eaves
on the end of the room on the third floor aren’t closed in, so if the wind is
blowing when it rains, you could get a little wet.
The tank for the baptismal font is under a
canopy just inside the gate from the street.
They may not have a great building, but they are an awesome Ward; and
boy can they sing! We love to go to this
Ward.
