2015 Ward Valentines Day Activity

Tamavua, Suva -

The theme for this year’s Valentines Day activity was “Families can be Together Forever.” Bro Tagicakibau provided the Spiritual thought for the day which set the Tone for the activities. In his thought he mentioned how an effective shepherd leads his sheep from the front and not from behind. The 4 groups that competed throughout the activities were reminded that if they live up to the theme, they would get a special prize.

We kicked off the day with a Scavenger hunt which was won by Bro Vuikadavu’s group. Then we had the LDS version of “Amazing Race” which was won by Bishop’s Maiwiriwiri’s group. Our DJ for the day was Bro Rusi Tawake and Bro Tagicakibau who kept us in good spirits with some lively tunes. We even had Karaoke which unveiled some hidden talents like Remesio Delai (7 years old) who sang his own version of the song “Families can be together forever.” For lunch we each had a delicious plate of beef chop-suey cooked by the Sis Maiwiriwiri and family.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, especially the deserts and the prizes that was kindly shared around by the groups that won.

During the Mutual the youth helped make portable bulletin boards out of cardboard box donated by Sis Mereani Delai, a recent convert who works at Fiji Sun.
