Third Wet Day Fails to Deter “Faithful” Mormon Celebrations

For the third day in a row, the wet environments failed to discourage Mormon youths numbered in the hundreds, from performing cultural dances from throughout the Pacific. Dancers representing Fiji, Maori, Tahiti, Rarotonga, Sāmoa, Hawai’i and Tonga improvised slipping-and-sliding in the mud into their repertoire.

The Royal Family attended celebration events for the third day in a row, joined by a full-house and an overflowed crowd of members and “investigators” as Mormons call non-members. Tongan Mormons who have migrated overseas made their presence felt.
