Elder Peter F. Meurs of the Pacific Area Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints visited Tonga this past weekend.
He presided at a conference for the Nuku’alofa Tonga Malapo Stake of the Church. A stake is a group of congregations.
Members of the former stake presidency—Misipulu Vaiangina, Samiuela Manu and Samisoni ‘Unga—were released after years of dedicated service.
A new stake presidency comprising Kafoika Lautaimi, Lafaele Ngata and Pila ‘Eivoni Palaiti was called to serve.
Outside of the stake meetings, Elder Meurs met the Hon. Hu'akavameiliku, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Tonga and Fatafehi Kinikinilau Lolomana‘ia Fakafānua, Lord of the Realm and the Speaker of the Tongan Legislative Assembly.
