The Latest...

I want to express my apologies for not posting for the past two weeks.  This is the first chance that I've had access to the internet and time to put up a post.  So I figured I would make it a good one and include some pictures from the last two weeks.

Our team has been insanely busy ever since we landed in Fiji.  The day after we arrived, we began two weeks of IBS (Institute of Biblical Studies) classes.  This is sort of a traveling seminary that Campus Crusade uses to teach and train their staff all around the world.  We took part in two graduate level courses:  Introduction to Christian Theology and God, the Bible and the Holy Spirit.  These classes were way more intense than we ever imagined. We were in class for about four hours a day in seemed to do homework for an equal amount of time.  The classes were hard but invaluable for our team.  We learned so much and are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to have taken part in these classes.  Here are some pictures from our IBS classes:

I promise that there is more to come.  I'm currently at an internet cafe where I paid for an hour of internet.  It took about half an hour to load these six pictures.  We're hoping to get the internet at our apartment pretty soon.  Hopefully then I will be able to post more pictures and post more frequently.  

Praise God that we found an apartment to live in this year.  Both the guys and girls are in the same complex and we are very excited about where we're going to live.  It's halfway between downtown and campus and within our budget.  Keep praying for us as we prepare for students to come on campus.  Thanks for all of your support and prayers.  Check back soon for more pictures and posts!
