Pictures!

Bula! aka Hello in Fijian

On the bus from Nadi to Fiji

Unfortunately there are no beaches in Suva, the city we live in

Tons of small villages line the coast of Fiji

Handsome!

I hope you enjoy the pictures so far.  We currently don't have access to the internet on a consistent basis so I'll do my best to keep posting thoughts and pictures as often as I can.  In the meantime, we have a few things you can be praying for.  We are staying in temporary housing right now and are looking for a more permanent place to live.  Pray that God would provide a safe place for our team to live for the next year.  Also, we are turning in our visa applications very soon.  For now, we are here on a two week visa to attend a staff conference.  We're not expecting any problems with Immigration but no one has ever applied for a worker's permit within our organization before.  We're praying that everything goes smoothly and would appreciate all your prayers.

Fiji is still incredible.  Our team is loving getting to know the culture and the people we'll be working with this year!  Check back soon for more updates!
