These start from back in December!
 |
| My Best Exotic Marigold Experience...work was constantly being done on the front foyer of the Elixir Apartments. |
 |
| The Front Foyer |
 |
| The bar...we were glad to leave as we had no running water for several days! |
 |
| A rainbow God sent me with the promise, Surely I am with you, always until the end of the age! |
 |
| Houses in the poorer area of Newtown, near Basden College |

 |
| Where the new driveway will be at Basden |
 |
| Fiji is a very religious place. It's cool to be a Christian and put up Christian billboards. |
 |
| The driveway digging commences, even in the rain! |
 |
| Beautiful Sunset over Suva |
 |
| Suva beaches are mud and mangroves. |
 |
| On New Years Day, we met in the newly renovated park to worship and pray for one another |
 |
| Teri & Lenore taught the young adults "Be Strong & Courageous" Video link here: Be Strong & Courageous |
 |
| Work on the driveway continues... |
 |
| Mika's Dad watches the work. |
 |
| Even Mika Jr gets involved. |
 |
| Hannah pretends to be a monkey! |
 |
| Principal Mika, His Wife Ema, Teri, Janetta, Lenore, Mika's Dad and Hannah posing in the front. |
 |
| The Archbishop prays & dedicates the construction to the Lord, as the concrete is ready to be poured |
 |
| A hunting bird flies out from the trees and circles the rugby oval at the end of his prayer. |
 |
| Finally the concrete begins to be poured! |
 |
| Barefeet...no Workplace Health & Safety here. |
 |
| Wade (the construction manager), Winston (the Archbishop & Mika (Principal of Basden College and Pastor) |
 |
| Work got delayed when the cement truck ran out of cement. They had to organise a larger one to complete the work. |
 |
| As the sun sets, everyone gets involved to hurry and complete the work. There is no twilight in Suva, and no construction lights when it gets dark. |
 |
| The shadows get longer and Wade and Mika watch the progress anxiously. Later Mika dives right in & helps. |
 |
| The sun setting over the oval. |
 |
| Sun set from the Taxi on the way home. |
 |
| Sunday the 5th of Jan, after church we visited Suva harbourside and ate lunch by the water. |
 |
| Inspecting our new house. Kitchen & Lounge room. |
 |
| The kitchen has plenty of cupboards but no oven, stove, or hot water tap and only 2 power sockets. |
 |
| Our backyard and side yard. It has a little garden with eggplants, dhal, curry and lemon leaves. |
 |
| View from Teri's balcony. |
 |
| View of our neighbours. It is a fairly affluent neighbourhood judging by the amount of people that own their own car. |
 |
| Mika's taxi driver (& friend) was so exhausted he fell asleep in our new home in front of the air conditioner. |
 |
| He was asleep for hours, so we all just walked around him. |
 |
| Our home, away from home...waiting in immigration!!! |
 |
| Still waiting!!! |
