Biship Titoko of the Lami 1st Ward had ask us to come speak with his Young Adult Sunday School Class. We decided to go to their sacrament meeting so we would not be late. We had not realized that it was a Fijian speaking ward. Some sweet sister loaned us her song book, so we could sing with them. I can sing in Fijian mostly. It was interesting that all of the testimonies were born in Fijian except for the one young adult who bore her testimony. She did it in English.
Scott ask me to do the speaking. I stood up to speak, took one look at those beautiful, spiritual young adults and started to cry. I hate it when that happens. I talked about what was happening at the institute and invited them to come join us. It is quite a long and expensive bus ride for them. I think we did not understand what Bishop Titoko wanted, because when I sat down, the girl who had conducted the meeting looked around wide eyed and then asked one of the YA to teach the lesson. I noticed he looked pretty shocked, but he got up, someone handed him those little booklets we all get as class members, asked what lesson (someone gave him a number) and began to teach. Of course, we didn't get any of it, but the class was engaged and the Spirit was there. My guess it that the Bishop thought we would take the whole class time. Oops.
Fed the APs dinner. They stayed until almost nine. Next week I am for sure getting some alone time. Really!!!
