Sitiveni Bale and his wife, Vasiti, are feeling the effects of a long life. Aged 79 and 77 respectively, they are pioneers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Fiji having converted to the Church in 1976 when there were barely 1,000 Latter-day Saints throughout the tropical islands that make up the Fijian archipelago. The Church was first established in Fiji just 22 years before in 1954.

Now suffering a debilitating form of arthritis, Brother Bale was still anxious to go to the Fiji LDS College auditorium last night (10 November 2009) to hear President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counsellor in the Church’s First Presidency, speak to the gathered Saints.

With the broadcast of the meeting being transmitted throughout Fiji, and also to New Caledonia and Vanuatu, the Bales were among many thousands of Church members who had the opportunity of hearing a member of the First Presidency speak directly to them. Fiji has 15,400 members, while there are 1,900 members in New Caledonia and 3,900 in Vanuatu.
