Participating in the Family-to-Family Book of Mormon program, LaVar and Zola Turpin of Blackfoot, Idaho, received a response from a Brother Sharma who lives in the Fiji Islands. He said the book that the Turpins had sent had been instrumental in the conversion of his wife.
Several months later the Turpins answered a mission call to serve in the Fiji Islands and were introduced to the Sharmas by Pres. George S. Goble of the Fiji Suva Mission.The Turpins had not realized that someday their lives would cross with the people they had helped to convert in Fiji.
