Sister Wakolo started. She had this medium sized bag over her arm as she talked and I wondered why she had not set it down first. She had props and goodies in her bag. She spoke about getting the point and staying focused on the point all the time holding the biggest nail. Then she gave each of the YSAs one nail to remember the point. She also had Hershey Nuggets which are a huge treat for Fijians. Any kind of chocolate is expensive in Fiji, but good chocolate is very costly. Fijians are thrilled when they can eat good chocolate.
Elder Wakolo had many messages for the YSAs. They were so pertinent as he understand the culture. Here are my notes from his talk.
verbalize your love especially in your family
Do Not Fear
with all the voices coming at you rely on the voice of the Holy Ghost
Do you see success in yourself? (see you are afraid to say 'yes')
Nephi went to Jerusalem 3 times
Not once did he fail because he kept trying
The Savior's goal is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man
He will be a success
Write down your goals
look for the extra degree that will make a difference in your life
Chicken "I know what commitment is. I lay an egg everyday."
Pig "That is not commitment, that is participation. Ham is commitment."
Be a pig not a chicken
Goals should be SMART
S = specific
M = measurable
A = attainable
R = realistic
T = timely
Keep your commitments
It was an honor and a blessing to have both of the Wakolos in our midst. They are such great examples.
