Elder David Bednar Counsels Service Centre Staff to ‘’ Buckle Up “

Suva, Fiji -

Staff of the 07 Service Centres in the Pacific Area were last week fortunate to be part of an Area broadcast with Elder David Bednar and his wife Susan in which he counselled all “buckle up “ as ‘the Lord is hastening his work. “

He said that it was “all about change” The purpose of education was for one to learn and change and the purpose of the gospel was also one of learning and changing and that we all needed to change.

“The patterns of the past was not going to work in the future and all will change so staff need to buckle up and be prepared for the changes. “

Elder Bednar was visiting Australia and New Zealand last week with Elder Robbins.

Sia Maiwiriwiri said that her take-away from the devotion ‘was a greater desire to do more and more and more to help build the kingdom not only in my callings but my role as wife and mother to get my family to do way more, more, more because we have no time to waste so we need to buckle up with the Lord.

‘Elder Bednar’s counsel regarding our dear prophet Joseph was not only inspiring but strengthens my testimony that Joseph Smith is indeed a Prophet of God! I loved what he said that if we come across things in our studying church history and what’s available on the internet and it weakens our faith and testimony, well it wasn’t strong to begin with, said Sia .

Meli Racava the Travel Coordinator said that from the devotion he learnt the importance of learning Church history.
