Land-Ho! Finally after almost six days at sea we arrived into Suva, Fiji. We had some of the roughest seas I"ve personally experienced on board the Pacific Link. Many were sea sick, however, I (Mike) was not one of them. I took some anti-nausea tablets for a few days, but stopped them after I felt I had my sea legs. Jeannie and Josiah were not as fortunate. We did have 24 hours of nicer weather and calmer seas, so we had a time of worship and prayer on the bow. We had enough sun that Ase got a sun burn. Here's a video of our approach into Suva. Very nice to be on land. We cleared customs without too much hassle and were able to get into town to scout out the stores, internet cafe's and other provisioning places. We only have three days here before sailing out to Lakeba in the Lau group of islands here in Fiji. A lot to do in three days including getting people to the ship from airports and bus stations. WE have a full contingent of dentists, doctors, optometry, nurses, DTS students and construction personnel. We have puppet shows prepared and are ready to do medical, construction, discipleship and evangelism. We covet your prayers while we are away. Thanks everyone. Would love to hear from you. Write comments, emails etc. Blog to you soon. Mike
