Members Counselled to Strengthen Family Relationships and Honour the Sabbath Day.

‘The home is the centre of learning and parents need to spend more quality time with their children“ , said Kamoe Varea the President of the Fiji Suva Stake of the LDS Church in Suva in their bi-annual conference held over the weekend.

He said that love, patience, selflessness, understanding and forgiving are key attributes to strengthening family relationships and parents need quality time with their children to do this. If the gospel of Jesus Christ is taught consistently in the home, faith and testimonies will be strengthened and youths will make decisions early to go and serve their missions. 

Members of the Fiji Suva Stake were also reminded to honour and respect the Sabbath and keep it holy. Jese Kama the first counsellor in the stake presidency said that promised blessings will come to families as they keep this commandment and that the spirit will dwell in their homes and they will be able to speak softly and counsel their children lovingly. Over 700 people attended the 2 days conference sessions.
