The Divox Accapella Group Visit

When they first heard that I had been diagnosed with cancer they called Tulagi to ask if they could come and visit me. At the time,  I was still going to work and going through life as usual and asked Tulagi to tell them that I was fine and that they could come later. They did not forget me and followed up on their request to visit yesterday. When Tu came in to inform me about their desired visit I was moved by the fact that this was a group of young people who were coming to express their love for a mother of one of their friends.

They arrived just on 7pm, last evening. In their presentation, they explained their connections to Tulagi through "Pacifica Voices" saying they were family and went on to apologise for their tardiness in coming to visit. They then went on to give an overview of what they planned to do during their visit before singing a few accapela inspirational songs. This was closed with a powerful prayer by Ben Narube.

After the formalities were over we spent some time reminiscing  on some of their performances that we had watched. I loved Tura's account of his performance with the Niuean students when his 'sulu' fell off and how he was unaware of it... that set everyone into spontaneous laughter. I know everyone at home was blessed by the visit and the expression of Christian love shared by a group of five young men who I wish to thank specially in this post. To Tura Lewai, Ben Naruma, Chris Cokanasiga, Ben Koroijiuta and Peter Cokanasiga, thank you so very much for your visit, every aspect of it was special! This was topped off further by the specially thought out things you bought to share with me. We must apologise for not noticing the long loaves of bread until after you had left. Eating them with you would definitely have added more time to your visit and to the fun stories we would have been entertained by. It is my earnest prayer that our dear Lord will continue to shower you all with His blessings in your professional, educational and personal journeys. God bless you, All.
