After the passing of John Glassie Mateara, there was a need to reorganise the District Presidency of the Avarua Cook Islands District where he was the 1st counsellor to President Piltz Napa.

That process has taken a long time due to Covid-19 as the setting a part of the new counselors had to be done by our Mission Presidency living in Auckland.

On Sunday, October 24, Angaroakau Aretoa Arera Williams was called as the First Counselor and Turori Matutu was called as the Second Counselor to President Piltz Napa.

The process was unique in a way where President Napa was authorised to do the setting apart through virtual technology and witnessed through Zoom technology.

This indeed is the new norm that was spoken of by our modern day Prophets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints.

We will be seeing more and more of the same prophecies coming to pass.
