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.

inside and out!
