Mai RakiRaki, Nanuma tikoga

Well, President called this morning. I'm already going... That was unexpectedly quick. But it will be fun. I'm off to the SavuSavu area in the North Zone! I've heard it's the hidden paradise of Fiji. They also have a different dialect which is great.

But the highlight of the week was definitely the visit of the prophet! I got to see almost all of the people from Naitasiri again which was awesome! Brother Eroni and Sova weren't there when I walked past at the end and they were rushing the missionaries out so I didn't manage to see them which was sad. But another day!

I'm sure the church has already posted about what the visitors talked about but i'll just share some highlights.

      Sister Gong talked about the importance of an Education and the doors it can open.

      Elder Gong talked about Faith and how the small things today make big changes in the future. He even rattled off some Fijian and the crowd went WiLd. "Dua na gasau." -Elder Gong

      Sister Nelson taught about how ALL of life's questions can be answered in the scriptures. Obviously some questions can't be answered in this life but many can be. Including questions about work, family, and pretty much everything else. Just give it a try!

      President Nelson taught about scattered Israel and how we are fulfilling prophesies whenever we testify of Joseph Smith or Josefa Simici as they call him here. He also talked about the importance and the miracle of the Book of Mormon. Without it, there would be no gathering of scattered Israel.

Well I know that Russell M Nelson is a prophet of our loving Heavenly Father and everything that he says is for us from God. There was a quote somewhere from one of the older prophets that went something like, "If me or any of the other prophets tried to say something contrary to the will of the Lord, he would remove us from the position before we could lead anyone astray."

Then we got to sing the Fijian Farewell song and that was awesome. It's talks about saying goodbye but also remembering the fun that you had. Very nice song.

Me with Elda Ormond one of our hosts while in Suva. From NZ and leaving in like 4 days.

That's more like it. Also found out that my companion knew where the grave was the whole time but just thought it was funny that I was taking a picture next to a random grave. Couldn't be mad though because that sounds like something I would do.

 Fun picture from the event. I'm sure some professional photographer got it better though.
