78 Youths from the Nausori Stake who attended their end of the year camp at Namena village in Tailevu last month learnt to put in action lessons from their Preach My Gospel class by donating copies of the Book of Mormon to families in the village.
This village was just opened for missionary work a week before the camp and on the first night the missionaries were allowed to enter the village. This was historical as they were not allowed to do so before.
The youths were billeted at the Namena District School where they also had most of their activities. Part of the excitement of the camp was bathing in the river and writing their testimonies on copies of the Book of Mormon which they gave to the villages as they visited their homes.
Joseph Williams of Waila Ward said that he was convinced of the importance of spreading the gospel as he participated in the missionary activity at Namena Village. One of the girls was very worried about sharing her testimony in Fijian so she said a prayer before they entered their assigned home and when it was her turn to speak, whe was able to speak fluently in Fijian.
One group went to the Talatala of the Methodist Church and he asked them if it was true that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints doesn't allow kava. The youths explained that though we're given commandments the Lord has given each the gift of agency to choose whether to obey or not.
The youths agreed that they had all enjoyed their camp and looking forward to the next one.
