Fiji - a day by day summarization - Day 6

Today is Sunday.  E and L got up early to head off to the local Catholic church up the road.  S and I are heading to church with a lady that works at the house.  We will be going to a Methodist church run by Koreans.  Church was an amazing and moving experience for me.  They had a special service to bless the new chapel they just built.  The service combined 2 local Methodist churches and a Baptist church.  We were also able to hear Reverend Bishop Kim from Korea preach today.  A group of missionaries were in town and he was with them.  I was just amazed on how many different nationalities were there.  No one saw color they only praised God.  The music was so cool.  Bishop Kim's message was (Jeremiah 29: 11-15 ):
  1. God has a plan for you
  2. God gives hope
  3. God answers prayers
  4. God give freedom
Everyone was so welcoming to us. I am very glad I went today.  Chips, protein bar and a coke for lunch today.  Well there is a bit of sun out today so I am going to go hand out.  We laid out for 2 hours today in the Sun/shade until it got cold.  Not much tanner today.  Tomorrow we will spend the day at the longest beach in Fiji. Natadola beach is supposed to be beautiful.  Spent the rest of the day talking and hanging out.  There was a quick impromptu Yoga class on the patio, it was very amusing to watch.  After Yoga we all sat down and wrote a list of the blessings in our lives.  What a long and great list I have!

Dinner was very tasty.  We had stir fry, rice and "spicy" meatballs.  Neeha even made me real spicy sauce to go on top of my food.  E was cold so I gave her my blanket. She had an extra reading light on her bed so she gave it to me.  Capitalism at it's best. LOL I got the better end of the deal because I did not need the blanket and I also got to have the aircon on.  :-)  It's hot in these squiter nets.  However my legs and arms are thanking me nigthly.

Village to village E says the Fijian people have more than the Ugandan people, that is so hard to imagine.  I live such a sheltered life. LOL  I am thankful I was born in the USA.  I miss home a lot today.  Ok off to bed.

Things I learned today: I am lucky to live in the USA, I've seen what heaven will look like, and I will have a hard time summarizing this trip for my blog.

Letter to My Sister

HI Stacy! Hope Heaven is treating you well.  We sure miss you here on earth.  I am sure you are watching us daily, but just in case you are missing the finer details let me fill you in on your kids.  They, just like me, miss you.  We all wish that tomorrow was a day of celebration not a day of remembrance.  But I guess we should celebrate that you are not in pain anymore and that all three of yours children are being well taken care of. Hey did you hear that I am FINALLY getting married?  You would totally like the guy.  He's so great.  He's a big goofball like me but very loyal, caring and helpful.  He treats us all with respect and has only the best intentions when it comes to the kids.  We will rock this parenting thing together.  These kids will have an additional person to fill them up with love. So what have you missed in the last 5 years?  Unfortunately a lot.  It makes me sad sometimes to remember what t...

Because you need me

Today one of my loyal readers told me that he really needs me to update my blog more often.  He was tired of reading that I am "yellow" and he said that he sees me more as a "Peach".  LOL  I said I don't and probably will never own anything peach, come to think of it I don't even own anything yellow. So here are a few things that crossed my mind today. This morning when I got dressed in my room, I really thought my outfit matched.  Then after further consideration and better light at work I decided that I did not match at all. :-) I used to think that getting my nails done was a waste of money, but I really want to go get pedicure. I wish those belly belts that say they will tone your tummy actually worked, I'd wear it daily. If Nacho was a baby, I think he would never learn how to walk because I love him so much I'd carry him everywhere...but since he's a cat he'd scratch my eyes out if I tried. I miss fried foods. Sometimes I thin...

A trip and a 5k a month?

Can it be done? Of course it can...I already know I can run a 5k so I just have to get off my butt and do it. As for the travel well January and February are booked. April, June, July and August are close behind. So 6 out of 12 is not too shabby for it only being January 9th - half way there. So where should I go? Any suggestion?
