From Kyla

Pastor and Church Family,

This mornings church service went wonderful!  At least 5 students from schools we have visited in times past, came to church this morning, along with a family from New Zealand, a Filipino family, family members of the lady we are staying with, and several others!  The total amount of visitors would be approximately 20 !  Bro. Brooks was flying high !!  Us girls sang " I Have Been Blessed" this morning.  For not doing a lot of practicing we did pretty good!  Pastor Ryan Gray preached a gospel message to the full church house.  

Pastor Brooks calculated how many students heard a clear gospel presentation this past week, and the total came to about 9650 children. Praise the Lord!! 

We had a big feast for lunch... smoked chicken, bread fruit, coleslaw, octopus, rice, egg plant, beef stew, soup, stir fry, fish, and more!!  

This past week has been good, but it has had it's challenges.  There have been quite a few schools that have told Bro. Brooks that they don't want us to come and distribute the Bibles.  Bro. Brooks is really burdened about this.  I believe 4 Muslim schools are included in that.  Please pray about this situation.

At every school, Bro. Brooks tells the students that if they ever see any of us in our bula shirts that they are supposed to say "hi!"  In the midst of our shopping the  past few days, several students have stopped us and said " hi."  Some have said that they have read the gospel message in front of their Bible.  This is so encouraging!! 

Thank you for your prayers.  I anticipate what the Lord has in store for me in this next week!

Day 11 in Fiji (men)

Day 11
It has been hard to get a internet connection because there is a storm coming in here.
Today was a wonderful day. Although it was not very busy it was wonderful. Just thinking about the great times that we have had to hand out Bibles all over the Islands and to know that God's Holy Word is getting into the hands of so many students. It is truly amazing! Doing something that will last for all eternity.
We walked into town and then walked along the beach for awhile the came across a part of the beach that Boiling hot water was bubbling up out of the ground. We asked some people about it and they said it comes from a hot spring a few hundred feet up the mountain and that the local people cook there food in it.
Tomorrow after Sunday service we are going to set up camp in the jungle about 3 hours inland.
