Bula! This will probably be the last time I'll be updating my blog before I get back to the states which will be in three weeks. We get back the 22nd of July and I'll be arriving into Chicago the 25th, staying several days in San Diego visiting a HS buddy, surfing the seas! :)
The last several weeks we have been painting several houses in one of the villages and yesterday was the final day of painting. The village put us up and cooked us a Lovo. They place hot coals in a pit and cook meat wrapped in leaves. We had Chicken, kasava, and other local foods. It was definetly authentic. The people of the village were rediculously friendly with such great hospitality!After dinner I had to step outside because of the 'authenticity' and started chatting up some of the kids. Most everyone speaks english, but that is their second language. The kids were amazing, talking my ear off, wanting to know about the states and ofcourse just wanting to have a good time.
After heading to the local shop for some late night snacks we ended up crashing for a long day of painting was ahead of us. And it was agood solid morning of painting. We painted three houses in our time here in Fiji and dug a trash pit, where they burn all their rubbish.
Things are suppose to be picking up. We have about three weeks left. I'm sad to see it go..
Sarah leaves on Tuesday...
Keep Praying for guidance, direcation, and patience.
Thanks for all your support. It is really appreciated and I'm definetly feeling God's presence in my life MUCH more! I'm looking forward to going home, but KNOW for sure that I'll be missing Fiji.
The Australian team gets in tonight, a whopping 18 of them to help with the clinics over the next couple weeks. So we'll have a cookout tonight for the fourth of July! WOO!! USA!! :)
Well be safe and see everyone in a couple weeks!!! MUAH!
