Now let's meet a friend who had an experience with praying for help.
He lives in Tahiti.
Come on, let's go!
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Alright, now let's find Tahiti.
There it is, right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
I bet it's pretty warm there.
I'm not sure we're dressed right.
Costume change, Payson!
Hmm...something’s missing... oh yeah!
That's better.
Now we're ready.
Hi, Raiairii!
It is so great to see you. Your island looks beautiful!
Would it be okay if we shared your story?
Here we go! Raiarii loves visiting his grandmother, Mamy.
While there, he plays on the beach and catches fish in the lagoon.
He eats mangoes and bananas from the trees.
A few years ago, he met Mamy's friends Kali and Mia.
Every morning Raiarii and Mamy would read the Book of Mormon together.
Kali and Mia started joining them. Raiarii helped explain the scriptures so that they were easy to understand.
Kali was impressed with Raiarii's knowledge of the scriptures.
Raiarii liked helping Kali catch fish.
One day Raiarii said, "Let's pray so that we can be safe and that we can catch lots and lots of fish.” That day Kali caught more fish than ever before!
Kali decided to always pray before he goes fishing.
Raiarii was getting ready to be baptized.
He told Kali all about it.
Then the missionaries came and taught Kali and Mia more about the gospel.
When Kali and Mia were baptized, Raiarii was there.
He was so happy that Kali and Mia wanted to follow in Jesus's footsteps.
Last December, Kali and Mia were sealed in the Tahiti temple, and Raiarii came
along to celebrate with them!
Raiarii's example shows all of us what we can do to build friendships and help others come to know the Savior.
Raiarii, that was a great experience!
Yes it was!
Next time I think we should fly to Tahiti to hang out with you on your
beach in person.
Would that be okay?
Bye!
I think it’s pretty cool that Raiarii prayed for help about fishing.
And I love how he helped his friend learn about Jesus!
You know, we can do that too.
We can pray when we need help.
And we can tell our friends about Jesus.
Who can you tell about Jesus?
Write their name down, and ask Heavenly Father for help.
The Friend magazine has more about Rai's story.
It also has a place where you can write the name of someone you want to tell
about Jesus.
Check it out!
Well, that was fun.
But I think we'd better head back.
Costume change!
