Wame (wah may), who is male, was confirmed in church today. Bishop Farpa'pau did the confirmation. Bishop is such a spiritual man. The blessing he gave was amazing.
It was Fast Day today. I love Fast meetings in our Samabula Ward. There are never any silent times and the testimonies are just that--testimonies. No travel logs. No thank-a-monies. Just pure testimony. Today, however there were many--but not long--quiet times in the meeting. I kept track today of the topics of the testimonies: this is the true church; charity never faileth, as a daughter of God, my life has a plan, a purpose, and a destiny; faith is found in the lion's den, in the fiery furnace, and in the eye of the storm; I would not change my trials for anyone else's, because I know my trials will make me stronger and better; always serve God; if we pray with sincerity Heavenly Father will always answer us and he will answer what is best for us.
Sister Farpa'pau told about an experience that Bishop had this week in one of his university classes. The professor asked each person to stand and answer the question "Who are you?" When it was Bishop's turn he stood and said, " I am a son of God." Before he could say anymore the professor said, "Bah" along with a wide swipe of his hand. He did not want to hear it. I am proud of the Bishop. We should always be proud to stand firm for the truths of God.
