Celebrating the 10th Anniversary


In June 2000 the Suva Fiji Temple was dedicated
by President Gordon B. Hinckley. The temple
district includes all the Fiji islands, Vanuatu,
Kiribati, Rotuma, and Tuvalu. What a blessing it has been
in the lives of these beautiful island saints. We
celebrated the 10th Anniversary this last month.
The celebration included a dance, a cultural night,
and a fireside presided over by Elder Tad Calister,
President of the Pacific Area. It was a wonderful
celebration and I feel so blessed to have been able
enjoy it.


Fijian Dancers


Dancers from Kiribati. These girls are sisters,
Phylis and Agie. They belong to my ward and I
am their visiting teacher. They are so beautiful,
inside and out!

Part of the costume is putting oil all over your
