Four Beautiful Tongan Women

MelRae is with Sister Fineanganofo (wife of the Area Seventy), Ainise Sevele (former Consul to France and the wife of Prime Minister Feleti Sevele), and Mele Taumoepeau (wife of Afu the Director of Public Affairs for Tonga and the Principal of the Liahona High School). MelRae, Ainise and Princess Pilolevu organized the temple open house tour for the wives of the Heads of State on October 18th. Ainise gave us the following comment after her second visit to the temple:
"My visit to the temple was a personal journey into the realm of all that is holy, which is peace, serenity, hope, happiness, and joy. I felt the presence of God. On my second visit it was reconfirmed to me that there is a living God. I was touched by the emphasis on the Risen Lord. All the paintings in the temple depicted a Risen Lord, not a Crucified Lord. The message is that there is hope for all those who believe in God. God has died for our sins, but He has risen. The temple gives us a clear message that all who die in his name will be resurrected, a message of renewed hope, joy, and happiness. In the temple we feel hopeful, we feel good, we feel joy.
