The Experience Of My Life

A year ago today I embarked on a journey
that would change my life,
though I didn't know it at the time.
It changed my life forever and
I returned with a different soul.
Tears are forming in my eyes while I write this
I don't think I could ever put into words
my love for these people and 
although we were there to serve them...
They served us is many more ways.
They gave us love, charity, and taught ME
what the true meaning of service was.

My heart is in Fiji
and I will return back to them one day.

My favorite pictures
(but not even close to all of them)


 Such a sweet spirit.
I love her.
She wove me a basket that I still keep in my room




 Trouble makers


 My favorite person and the most wonderful man I have ever met in my life
Tatui (Father Tui) 
Miss that smile.



 Not a fan of the bugs in Fiji

 Hit by a monsoon on the way to church

 Painting the library



 coconut slap

 Peeled and ate this sucker
 All the books we brought for their new library
 Sleeping arrangments




 Navave boys singing and playing the guitar

 Hardest goodbye
 Lots of dance parties

 Tears while leaving the people
 Jumping off the boat, our last hoorah!

The people swimming after our boat and waving goodbye
