Sat. Aug. 27, 2022 - Tahitian Devotional

 Every other month one of the 6 islands of the PCC do a devotional at 8 am on Saturday morning for just the seniors. This morning it was the village of Tahiti that did the devotional.  We started with the flag-raising and the choir sang the Tahiti national anthem.

Then we went inside a large open air building for the devotional. 

When we sang, the choir, sitting along the wall, would stand and sing along with the little band. It was fun for us because we would sing the first verse in Tahitian,  the second verse in French, and the third verse in English!

The President of the PCC - Pres. Alfred Grace from New Zealand spoke as well as several of the band and chorus who work at the Tahitian village and are BYUH students.

After, they served us fruit for refreshments!

And then a wonderful tender mercy. We got to meet Elder Robert E. Lee and his wife!  Roger and Elder Lee were missionary companions in 1968 in the Salt Lake Mission home. ( before there was an MTC )

Both left the Mission Home and went down to BYU to the LTM - language training mission - to learn French for 6 weeks - then both went on to France to serve their missions. Elder Lee’s first wife died about a year and a half ago - and then he remarried  this wife and they both came on a mission here. They just arrived this transfer and will be teaching religion at BYUH.  What a fun reunion!
