This is my companion and I celebrating Dihwali! it is an Indian Holiday that is celebrated like crazy here in Fiji! It is definitely a holiday that I will be celebrating for the rest of my life. haha We were allowed to put on Saris at our Recent converts house, eat lots of sweets and food. They celebrate with lights and fireworks!

It was like Christmas and the 4th of July put together! I have never seen so many fireworks! We had a good week! Lots of work and walking! I think I averaged about 8 miles of walking for most of the week! haha  I am very grateful for my body! Oh! When I put on the Sari, our recent convert's mother totally thought I was Indian and hasn't stopped saying how she wished she had a son so that she could arrange our marriage! haha It was awesome! She thought I was Punjabi! :D I love Fiji.

The people are SO good! They actually help with the work and give referals! they are amazing! The paved roads just make me want to get a car. haha my companion wants to get bikes but I just don't know how I feel about that. haha we walk a TON. 

I LOVE FIJI!  How is the flower? Can I pull it off like a true islander? At first it was weird but now I am getting used to it. Happy THANKSGIVING! Eat lots and don't forget about me!? hah
