traditional Fijian Stove in our area :)
Oh, I ate raw Fish yesterday! We had a really big traditional Fijian feast yesterday to break our fast with the Bishops family and to say farewell to a senior missionary couple that is leaving. It was good. Dalo, Roro, chicken, fish, noodles, and potato salad (crazy random american...haha). It was good, not quite used to some of it yet but I tried the Ota. Which is raw fish soaked in and served with coconut milk, cilantro, and some more stuff. It was actually my favorite. It was super good! But we aren't really supposed to eat it but I felt like it was safe and I wanted to try it. haha

Fiji is crazy different. They drive on the left and steering wheels in cars are on the right. (P.s. pray for me because I am getting my Fijian license next mondaymorning. I got my learners this morning so I could start practicing this week... )Homes are made out of sheets of metal that are stapled to wooden frames. Everyone lives by simple means. Very few have TVs and they are just starting to get touch screen cell phones but there isn't really wifi and everyone has very limited calling and texting. I keep laughing when everyone runs out because people would never live like that in America. haha The religions are strong here but the people are SO welcoming. No matter who you are or your religion, as you pass someone's house, you will be invited in to eat. It is just the culture. The culture is also very relaxed. No one really set's times our makes affirmative answers. But none of that stops the work from progressing. The Church is still true and Christ is still changing lives. haha it is great.
