So, we had a really cool baptism in a little village called Nabua.  It was just awesome!  It was of a little 12 year old boy named Tevita.  He was baptized in the Ocean and we had to walk about 10 minutes just to get to the right place - once there, people stood all around on different rocks in the water.  

It was super cool.  

Best part was the Elder who baptized Tevita was a kid named Sailosa who is awaiting his mission call.  Can't wait to find out where he will be serving.

This is YM Meeting - pretty good place to hold a meeting, huh?

Hospital Signage

Here are a few signs we have noticed while we have been at the hospital helping perspective missionaries do their medical and dental work.  We thought they were kind of funny so we wanted to post them. 

This first one is the Dentist fees.  I think I paid too much for my dental work in America!

This next one is called "S N A P"  I thought it was very helpful to keep my life healthy.

And this last one... Bob might have needed it while he was still working and driving many hours each day, but now that we are in Fiji, I'm happy to say he is "Stress Free" (or at least getting there!)

FIJI SUVA MISSION CHALLENGE

At Zone Conference last week we were given a challenge by our Mission President, President Higgins.  It's a Book of Mormon challenge.  

We were to start on February 8th and read for 60 days ending on April 8th.  We were also given a book mark that shows everyday where our reading should be.

The part of the challenge I really like is we got a new paperback Book of Mormon and were told to take two different colored marking pencils and mark 2 things:

1)  Mark each reference to Jesus Christ (any of His names or pronouns referring to Him

2)  Mark His words (spoken by Him or by prophets when they say: "Thus saith the Lord"

And then at the end of the challenge (April 8th) we are to have a Mission wide fast about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and to read Moroni 10:3-5

The reason I'm putting this in the blog is because I have been doing this for a few days now and I LOVE IT!  It really changes things, the way you read, comprehension, etc.... when you read with a purpose.

If you feel so inclined, I would encourage all my family and friends to do the same challenge.  It's only 60 days, and then read Moroni 10:3-5 and see if your testimony has been strengthened by reading this book.
