We made it!!

A last coffee and gelato with the wonderful Bakers before we leave

Well, here we are in steamy, sunny and sweaty Suva. Its been a week now and we are in our house (via the Novotel) , we met the Board of the PSFC and had a great dinner with them, kids started school ( a bit of a false start for Soph as she was sick) and excitingly we seem to have 2 kittens in our backyard. The kids run out with fresh water everyday, which is lovely, but not helping the "getting a dog cause" much!

All up we are doing well, despite missing our families and friends. Getting the internet was fantastic and a real boost, as we dont feel so isolated. Lots to learn, lots of water to boil, lots of sleep needed and lots of reminding that "one must remember one's sense of humour at times such as this". The kids groan and roll their eyes when I say it, but agree nonetheless! Here are a few pics of last couple of weeks.

Pen pals for a little while

Family dinner -minus the Mears who were camping.

Through customs-having found the lost bag just in time.

Landing in  Suva and walking over to get our bags

Brief stopover at the Novotel until our house was ready.

Very "realistic" start to mission work.

Off to school! Christian Community School.
