Uh, can you tell me what the feeling is like on Sunday mornings in a place like Rarotonga or other islands you've visited?

Yeah.

I think definitely, like you're saying with the hotel experience, often when friends and family come, there's a invitation often given out to members or, uh, to people staying in the hotels to be a part of a congregation and actually invite them to, um, participate in going to different churches, um, so that they can have the full Cook Island experience.

Um, I've lived in a couple of different islands.

Um, Tonga, very similar to this, and it's very...

It's a lot easier to ground yourself again for the, the week.

Um, you come to Sunday, there's not a whole lot you can do, and a lot of it is family-driven, and so we focus a lot on family time, if it be with our own family.

Um, I was at the hotel earlier today, and I heard a lady at the front, go up to the front counter and say, "S- do I have to wear a hat going to church?" And they said, "No, no, you don't have to wear a hat." But Matt, perhaps you can tell us a little bit about, uh, what you notice about the way people dress, uh, on Sundays here.

But Matt, perhaps you can tell us a little bit about what you notice about the way people dress on Sundays here.

Yeah, I think growing up in Australia, it's definitely a lot different when you come to here and it's such a unique experience to come to church in the Cook Islands or any island.

But the Cook Islands, I feel like they were a different experience from other places is their color.

There's so much color you can see in the dresses.
