The Philadelphia Inquirer just published this interview/biography of Vai Sikahema. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/20160828_The_Interview__Why_you_ll_see_Vai_Sikahema_at_the_big_new_Mormon_Temple.html
The Cherry Hill New Jersey stake that Sikahema presides over has 13 wards and branches. I am wondering if there may be a way to realign boundaries between it, the Philadelphia Stake, and the Valley Forge Stake to make a 4th stake.
I also like the detail of how the Sikahema family lived in New Zealand for 3 months while Vai was young as his father worked as a sheep shearer to take the family home to Tonga. Now that was a long temple trip, over 3 months.
I do have to say the writer of this article on Sikahema does not understand how to use quotes. She puts "reccomend car" is quotes. However this is not what it is called. It is called a reccomend. Argbuably the physical card is not the reccomend, the reccomend is the agreement between you and God as vouched through the mediation of the bishop and stake president. The writer also uses way too many quotes. There is no reason to put quotes around temple reccomend or stake president. It is just poor style.
