Thanksgiving in Fiji


Today is Thanksgiving in Fiji…and we are so thankful. After seven and a half weeks of waiting for Josh’s computer to be fixed, we have a working computer back in out possession! It is truly a miracle and we are so thankful! Josh has been smiling since we picked it up yesterday.

VJ from the HP office called at 3:55pm saying that the computer was fixed. After seven plus weeks of having our hopes raised only to crash back down again….Josh asked him if VJ if he was joking. VJ in reply said, “No I am not joking, it is really working, I have it on my desk now, you can come get it….but we close at 4:30”.

As you can imagine, as soon as Josh got off the phone all work ceased in the office. We packed up all our equipment in record time and jumped into a taxi. Making to the office just in time we tested the computer one last time, rejoiced at its’ working state, and brought it home. I have never brought home a newborn from the hospital, but I can imagine the excitement was about like that!

On another note, tonight we are celebrating Thanksgiving at our house with the New Castle DTS. We couldn’t find a turkey…but roasted Chicken will do just fine! I can’t wait for dinner! It’s time to celebrate and give thanks to God for all he has done and is doing.
