Power is out throughout Fiji and there is a State of Emergency and curfew being enforced.
We originally planned to send the missionaries back to their areas tomorrow morning.
However, because of the storm and restrictions on travel, we will keep them here until we
know it is safe for them to travel. As I write this email we have not had any contact
with the Saints on Vanua Levu and Taveuni, good or bad. All communication lines are down.
Today there were three sessions of the Suva Fiji Temple dedication with President Eyring
presiding. They were all wonderful spirit filled events. Because the power is out
throughout most of Fiji some of the Saints were not able to watch the dedication services
as planned. President Eyring announced that the dedication services will be re-broadcast
next Sunday.
With the power out we anticipate the Internet shops will be closed on preparation day.
Your missionary probably will not be able to send you their weekly emails. Please know
that we are watching thing close and I will try to keep you updated on the conditions
here in Fiji, until we return back to normal.
Warm regards,
President Layton
Fiji Suva Mission
