A Sunday I'll Never Forget

Last Sunday we had the opportunity to visit the village of Naiburere and attend a Sacrament meeting there. We met in a home, made of tin, leaving our shoes at the entrance.  The small building was filled by the time the meeting started and, as we sat on woven mats on the floor, singing with the village saints, it was one of the most spiritual times of my life. It reminded me of what is really important in life - family, friends, life itself, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.


Shoes left at the entrance.

The village chief joined the meeting along with her spokesperson. The Fijians sing all verses of each hymn in beautiful harmony.  Their kindness, Christ-like gentle nature, and humility remind me that I have a lot to learn. They are a beautiful people!
