So after staying up till midnight eating scones and drinking tea with Filo, Paypay, Lawsolini and Rebekah, the rooster had no mercy and once again woke me at 4:30am! At breakfast Mrs. Towle informed us that Pastor Grey had texted and asked us to sing in church this morning! So the rest of the morning was spent preparing to sing "I just want to please The Lord" for church this morning! We also learnt how to sing a couple songs in Fijian last night so we are busy working on those and planning to sing in Fijian at the schools on Monday! Looking forward to surprising Pastor Brooks and Pastor Grey with our new language abilities!:)
Church this morning was great! The youth sang a special and I wish you could all hear them sing! They have amazing voices and harmony! Almost every school sings for us as well and we love it! The Lord helped us with our special as well, and from the sounds of it it's a good thing we came prepared with several specials as it appears we will be needing them! Pastor Grey is an awesome Pastor....almost as good as Pastor Carlson, and his style reminds me a lot of pastor's preaching which is great as it makes the church feel a lot like home!
Afterward almost everyone stays for lunch...Fijian cooking is soooo yummy! Fijian culture does not allow them to eat with us or even let us help them in the kitchen so it is a bit of an awkward feeling at times! Thankfully at home I have finally convinced Filo to let me help do the dishes and they are slowly letting me get my foot in the door when it comes to helping with the cooking! It seriously feels like we are being waited on hand and foot here at times!
The service this evening is also at 6pm and another pastor who is from the States and passing through will be preaching.
Saturday and Sunday are definitely quieter days here for us, so we try to rest up and get prepared for the coming week.
This coming week is going to be a very busy week! We will be in 16 schools and so desperately ask for your prayers! Some of the schools we are going to this week are very large and some are not as excited about the Bibles coming as others are. We plead for your prayers! Only the prayer of God's people can open their hearts and provide us with the open door that is needed! The devil would love to mess with the plans, but prayer can keep him from doing that!
Please also pray for safety, not only for us, but also for our guys as they return on Friday, and for at least 3 more people who are on their way here to help!
