Day 1

Day one was incredible! We just finished dinner. Egg salad sandwiches and tea ... which actually looks like coffee with creamer in it. We played Chinese numbers and the Alphabet game. (Thanks, Mark Connelly!) The girls are awesome. Naca, and Solo, Salote, Latia, Geoge, Miari, Simone ... We all thoroughly enjoyed each others company tonight!

The team is tired but excited about the week ahead. Tomorrow is Sunday here. The plan is to eat breakfast, work on the schoolhouse till lunch, eat, tour Home of Hope, and then go to Church in the afternoon. We'll get back after dinner in Suva City just in time to hit the sack for a busy Monday of hammering, planting, sawing, teaching, and bonding. God is everywhere here. We prayed tonight that His presence would overwhelm us. We pray that for you too.

We're still working on getting telephone access so our families may not hear from us directly for a few days. FYI Internet access is down in our guest quarters as well. I'm about a half mile from our temporary home, barefoot, sitting in front of the office and pirating their wireless. I wish you could smell the jungle ... and hear it. This is awesome!

Anyway, I need to get to bed. Love you guys. Goodnight!

-more to come tomorrow....
