Unexpected Visitor

Today we had an unexpected visitor from Josh’s past…..Sam Brown. Sam Brown is a part of Lifeway College (which is a really great Christian College in New Zealand) and knows Josh through his sister Anna. Josh and Sam met on a very historic day….the only day, that the Lifeway students beat the Lifeway staff in there annual Staff/Student Rugby game. Apparently the student team needed some more players so they allowed two YWAMers (Marty and Josh) to play on their team.

Sam is a very interesting character, he is getting a Masters Degree in Insects. Now how many people do you know that do that? Sam has been in Fiji about 6 weeks, traveling the islands, collecting specimens for his Masters project. So we spent the afternoon talking about bugs over tea. According to Sam, Roaches actually do have a purpose….and Mosquitoes are the most deadly type of insects. Spiders are not classified as insects, in case you forgot that fact from high school biology. Also there are between 5 million and 10 billion insects in the world, and only 1 million of them have been named. Fascinating stuff huh?
