Kia Ora Kotou Katoa (Greetings to you all)
My aroha(love) goes out to the families of those of my companions who have passed beyond the veil.
I never married, so I am unable to talk about any biological children that I might have had if I had married. However, I am able to talk about the thousands of teenagers that passed thru' The Church College of New Zealand.They were typical teenagers with great exuberance & ambitions. Eager to try out anything,& putting one to the test. I am glad that I was always a step ahead of them & they always asked "How did you know?" My reply to them was, "Remember, this is the Lord's school & he loves you & want's us to be sure to take care of you".
Many have become great leaders of the church, both here in New Zealand & through out the world, because many students attend from all parts of the world, even the USA. It is also great to see them depart for the Mission Field.
I have always had a strong testimony of our Saviour & I am thanking him for all that I have. 12 yrs ago I had a breast removed. Last Nov 2007 I had heart surgery. I currently am doing really well. The Gospel is true & I love it. Sayonara, June Parahi.
True to her Maori ancestry, Parahi Shimai was a missionary who lived by faith. She told of her family’s tradition to first receive a priesthood blessing before making a visit to a doctor—a lesson not easily forgotten by her companions. She was a generous and compassionate missionary. After retiring a few years ago from the church school in New Zealand, she continued using her nursing skills as a member of a task force that deals with Maori people with mental illness.
Parahi Shimai added an extra dimension to her companions cultural experience. Not only was she taller than most of us, but she used the Queen’s English. We’d post a letter, eat super at noon, and eat biscuits (a.k.a., cookies). She was a good missionary. |
