last week...

Dear friends,

We have had an awesome time since we last updated. We got to go to a Fijian service on Sunday. It was amazing. They spoke in their native tongue, but sung a few songs in English. We have been relaxing and just talking with people. On Wednesday we did a tour in the jungle on canoes. We saw another village. We heard their history, saw beautiful war dances, and an amazing waterfall. Later that afternoon and night there was a forest/grass fire on the hill by our hostel. It got so close to our room we packed our bags and prepared to possibly watch the place burn down, but we started praying. Praying it would stop or there would be rain. God delivered. It was cool because a guy that works here named Joe (we have gotten to know him well and encourage him on his walk with God) said there wasn't rain in the next village not far away. So God is good and prayer is powerful. No rain dances here, just talkin' to God.
We leave tomorrow for our next place for a week and then back to New Zealand.

Prayer Requests:
Safe travel
Open hearts with travelers
finishing this out strong

We love you guys and will see you very soon.

Love,
Rebecca, Frans, Nate, Matt, Jordan, and Natalie
