We're still getting used to things and hopefully we will learn how to post and describe so it makes better sense. The country is beautiful and the people are very kind and humble.  It seems like most work in agriculture or the government.  The kids are all very cute.  The driving on the left in crazy traffic is hair raising but the other senior missionaries say 'it will come'.  I hope it is soon.

After 4 days in NZ, we arrive in Nadi, FJ and are greeted by the 'airport elders' who help all arriving missionaries: through customs, getting your baggage, and finding the 'other' part of the airport where we caught a flight to Nausori Airport near Suva.  Our 'flat'. Our landlord.  Our broom.  The temple.  The surrounding area to the north or out in the country.
