Today the town is busy busy.... probably because with Mothers Day the dinner tomorrow will be huge!
Well our team is off and running and we performed last night for a Youth for Christ rally , dancing one Fijian song. Everyone says we did well- i did one mess up but its all for Gods glory right? Me ? Dancing? Crazyiness... The Samoans here are just so talented musically, I was impressed with the other performances. It finally stopped raining a bit so I got to air out some of my clothes. We had a comment from the Family Ministry team here from New Zealand, they were saying that typically you have good accomidations with on the YWAM base, and then tougher ones while you are on your outreach. For us they feel that the trial is here on the base (with the heat, sometimes no water etc) and when we have our outreach in Hong Kong it will be better conditions. Praise God :) Updates from last post: our water turned back on right away, some miscommunication with the land and water regulators. Also, we have a new used van that is getting ready so we will have two transportations options in the near future.
The staff are beginning to do prayer walks/meetings every evenings to really 'protect' us and the base and I feel so blessed that the leaders are taking initiative to bring everything before God. Next week's speaker is a lady from American Samoa. I am hoping to visit Savai, the next island over, next weekend but have yet to get the okay from our leader. I hear its even more beautiful than here which is hard to imagine. Last night at the performance i was walked around saying 'fia moi' and 'fia aie' which means i am tired and I am hungry. (we didnt get dinner until after- around 10 pm).
We have a big 'fiafia' night tonite, typically done to say goodbyes or celebrations. This is for the New Zealand Family Ministries team that will be leaving on Monday and also as an opportunities to fundraise. We should do about five dance songs. Um, Ill have to let you know how that goes on Wedn!
