Coup Set for Today at Noon

This week we have had the Global Pastors Netowrk Congress, which our IES students and ourselves were invited to. It’s been amazing to rub shoulders with some amazing men and women of God, including Loren Cunningham, the founder of Youth With a Mission. When Loren met Misty and found out she was from Austin, Texas, He said to Josh, “I think of you much better now that I’ve met your other half”.

The Political situation here in Fiji continues to be unstable as I’m sure you’ve seen on the news. The Coup is set to take place at noon today. However, we’re safe and ok, and everything should be fine….In saying that we are ready to evacuate if need be. Life seems normal here in Suva, and if we didn’t read the news we would barely know anything was happening.

We only a few days left with the first ever IES here in Suva. We’re looking forward to catching our breath for a couple of days after graduation, next Wednesday, before heading back to New Zealand on Saturday the 10th. We’ll be moving back to our place at the beach for 10 days and will be looking for a new place to stay. Christmas with the Coles @ Ruahihi Rd should be great and we are so looking forward to it.
