My Beloved Sauniatu Ward

well guys, it's official....with the boundaries set.....my family now belongs in the PESEGA WARD.....but no matter where i go....my heart will always be in SAUNIATU.....i will miss SAUNIATU's members, friends and bishoprick.....i will miss TROOP 235.....and i'll especially miss the SAUNIATU pride that we all used to share.....

it's sad moving on......my family has been with SAUNIATU from the very beginning....from when the SAMOAN WARD in SUGARHOUSE split in 1991.....so it's really really REALLY hard to leave.....and i don't want to leave.....but the church leaders have sustained that our new home now is at the PESEGA WARD.....and we must obey the leaders.....because anything from them, is from the LORD.....i don't know why the LORD wants us to attend the PESEGA WARD.....but the LORD works in mysterious ways.....and we must trust in HIM.....

besides, the pioneers had to leave their HOMES and LANDS behind, and be driven out of state after state before traveling ACROSS THE COUNTRY and building the foundation of the church here in salt lake city.....

so i *guess* i can't complain too much huh???

it's just going to be tough attending church and not seeing the familar faces anymore......and yes.....I DID manage to go to church once in a while :Þ.....and i will cherish the memories i had in SAUNIATU......

please don't forget my family SAUNIATU WARD......because we will never forget you.....

with much love,
