Bless you all so much for the hugely positive and encouraging comments you've posted here. Our people from Sasa'e are certainly reading your comments, I think they might be a little shy - or maybe they are still catching up on rest : ) or are overwhelmed with how awesome you all were!
We had the opportunity to show on our big screen some of your comments, our group had smiles from ear to ear and were happy to read them. It's brought to light how God makes use of every single being that's willing. While we have received so many compliments, we know without a doubt that you all were part of making this Fono special. From the organising side of things, you made our job so much easier. Your eagerness to follow our lead was outstanding. Your support and acceptance of our programme was heart warming. Bless you!
Thanks also to all those who have hosted Fono's of the past. I hope you were able to see how we included your great ideas in this year's programme. For example - the group song during our Tupulaga led devotion, Samoan songs of praise from Ueligitone Fono years ago, uniforms for hosts from all of you, speakers to support theme Matu Fono, rego packs/bags etc. God puts to use our experiences of the past and present to strengthen our future together. Thank you Jesus! Then we have our pioneers of PIC and FLEP who are all linked to us via PIPC, then David Tua - oka! God you made sure our 'Cups runneth over'.
Praying that we don't leave it here, that we take these blessing that are overflowing and give to our brothers and sisters who need these blessings too.
God bless and keep you always in his steadfast care.
Lots of love and respect for you all - precious children of God.
Ia tumau pea le Atua i lo tatou va, ma ia maua e i tatou le malosi e 'Finau pea, aua ne'i tatou fiu gofie'.
Ia soifua ona o Iesu.
