Elder Adolf Johansson, a leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, met with Fiji Prime Minister Hon. Prime Minister Rear Admiral J.V. Bainimarama last week in Suva.

Elder Johansson was accompanied by fellow Latter-day Saints, Hon Laisenia Bale Tuitubou, Minister for Youth and Sports, and Mr Lai Koroinamua.

The men discussed the humanitarian, family history, education, welfare and other programs of the Church in Fiji.

Elder Johansson presented Prime Minister Bainimarama with a letter from the Church’s First Presidency, congratulating him on his election last year. He also gave the Prime Minister a DVD copy of the documentary, “Meet the Mormons.”

There are close to 18,000 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 50 congregations in Fiji. The Church operates eight family history centres where Latter-day saints and members of the public can search for genealogical information about their families.

The Church’s Suva Fiji Temple was dedicated on 18 June 2000 and is currently closed for renovations.
