Ia manuia lava le tausaga fou! Happy New Year to you all!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The word new – fresh, original, novel, beginning, start, a chance to start again – has always capitulated me to the fear of the unknown. There will be challenges of preparation and the huge task of fundraising, conflicts of interest and overcoming differences, as well as many doubts and defying many odds. However, with God as the foundation source of all and his amazing gift of faith, there is no doubt that the New Year ahead will not be shrouded in fear. We have nothing to fear – and it is in the learning of this message that I am excited – for faith is certain and true.

The events this year in Sydney are going to be great! This year!! Wow, no longer can we say, “This time next year”. How time flies, but I'm so looking forward to being able to pilgrim together and come closer to God and His people. As we journey through this exciting year, I will like to reflect briefly on 2007 and what a joy the year has brought upon us - and say thanks to God for all the blessings. In particular, I would like to share a special thanks to all those who have supported and showered their love upon myself in this humbling role as Ambassador. Malo lava le onosa'i, fa'afetai mo lo outou lagolago malosi, ma ia manuia lava lenei tausaga mo outou uma.

2008…. here we come!

I’ll keep you all posted on the great things we are doing here in Wellington – we are all very active in getting ourselves to Sydney – so watch this space!

May God’s love and guidance bring you all joy and prosperity as we continue to journey towards Sydney. Never forget to enjoy the ride, and have fun!

Happy New Year everybody!
Manuia lava le tausaga fou!
