Gday from the Fiji Mission Team

BULA! (that means hello)

Greetings from sunny Fiji! Fiji is great guys, it's so beautiful, and the people here are so warm and friendly, it's truely an amazing country. I don't have much time so I'll make this post as quick as I can.We got here last wednesday night

on thursday we went to suva and visited the children's ward at suva hospital and gave them their gifts and candy canes to all the kids and parents and staff, they LOVED IT!

on friday we did cementing, that was good fun, hard but fun

on saturday we went on a boat down the beautiful navua river and visited a village, where we took part in a kava cerimony and then we had a traditional Fijian lunch. It was SOOOOO good pacific food is the best in the world! After lunch we went further up the river and went swimming at the waterfall and to get there i hadta climb up the rocks for ages but it is SO worth it and we climbed up the 1st waterfall and jumped off it's so cool its like 2.5 stories up and the water is so deep but the next one u cant climb its like 6 stories and vertical so yeah but we swam under it and the water hurts lol

On sunday we chilled out and today, Monday, we started the beach mission. It is really hot today, even the fijians think so, which means it definately IS hot.

Anyway, we get back NEXT monday arvo, ring my mum if u wana come to the airport to see us cos I'm goin 2 melbourne like 2 days after i get home from fiji

Anyway I dont get much internet time and phone costs like 75c per min so cant talk but i luv yas, cyas soon!

A very big thankyou to everyone who has supported us to get us here, and is praying for us. That photo I took is for you, and when we return we'll have many more beautiful photos, and even more beautiful stories to tell.
Vanaka (that means thankyou)

05 BREAKUP THIS FRIDAY!

Well kids, of course Friday wasn't the slime night like I said it would be, but we still had fun chillin out eh, gotta have more of them in the holidays eh.
OK well this coming Friday, December 9th, is the one80 breakup for 2005!
It is at Chris and Dan's house, whose adress is on The Fat.
If you can get dropped off at 6.45 at Chris' that'd be tops. If it is not possible to get dropped off there, then meet at VACC at 6.30 and the leaders will drive you there!
It's a BBQ pool party, so bring your togs and a towel, and please bring a bottle of drink or some munchies to share (it's BYOBB, hehehe)
There is no cost for tonight, just bring the stuff you need!

For me, Kaleb, Kirsty, Sara, Laura and ol Tinny Tim, we won't be there on Friday night cos we'll be heading off to Fiji on Wednesday morning for 12 days! Wish us luck!
We get back on the 19th, so if there are any major updates needed before then Mike will be handling it for me. I'm heading to Melbourne right after Fiji but I can update from there it's all good. We'll try and email a post to Mike...CYAS WHEN WE RETURN!

Well, once again the wide games were great, and the new terrain proved for an interesting game.

Tonight is free, but canteen and the TEAR tin will be out of course

Comment now on Operation Magnetic Bagel, and whatever else you feel like talking about really.

OPERATION MAGNETIC BAGEL

After the blazing success of last terms wide games, there was a public outcry for MORE, so this Saturday the 23rd of July, get ready for more action in Operation Magnetic Bagel. Like always, the wide games will test your speed, stealth, strategic skills, endurance and team work; but this time expect it to be even harder, with a new, very different terrain, and some new twists...

Bring: Ya mates, at LEAST 2 litres of water to drink, food for the day, and a bag to carry it in. You will need to wear sturdy, comfy shoes or boots, and if you have them, clothes that will help you blend into the bush, like camo print. There will be camo clothing to borrow if you need it, but stocks are limited, and you will need safety pins and a belt if you are borrowing camo pants.
See Mike or one of the leaders or students who attended the last one if you have any questions.

Progressive Dinner, Friday July 22nd

Tonight, you will need to get dropped off at the church AT 6.30PM and get picked up AT 10PM, at Mike and Vick's house (55 Dubarry Street, Sunnybank Hills)
