The coup has officially taken place as of 6 pm last night. Suva is still peaceful and Josh and I are still OK. No worries! The Military Commander is announcing his interim government later today, and in a few months they will have another election. Next week the Great Council of Chiefs will meet together and if all goes as planned, the President will be reinstated. Apparently the President sided with the Military Commander.
Tonight we are going to celebrate the completion of the school with Graduation. Our students are busily preparing the "Lovo" for the feast. It has been cool to watch them burn stones until they glow and then bury them in the ground with all the food. It will be great to celebrate all that God has done in these guys tonight. Honestly, they have changed so much...becoming so much more grounded in the love of the Lord and confident. We will post some pictures of graduation soon.
As for Josh and I, we have one more day in Suva (you simple have to clean house and pack). Then to the relief of everyone, we will head over to the Western Division of Fiji to wait for our flight on Sunday morning. Pita, one of our students will drive us and the National Director westward at 3am Friday morning.
