On Sunday July 11th. we said good bye to Tevita, Meleane and family. They have been in our District for 8 years now. There was an uplifting service at Wesley with over 150 people to give thanks for the work of the Siuhengalu family and wish them well on their way. In Tevita's address, he referred to their not knowing exactly where they will go or what they will do and said we should all have faith in God because he has plans for us. This is a message for everyone! Roy Slocombe gave a message of thanks from the district. The Siuhengalu children read lessons during the service and the congregation sang lustily and with good courage!. We wish the entire family well for their future and hope they will stay in touch,.
