Fiji. Argentina. Samoa. Canada. All In One?

Hey guys!
Today, I was given the opportunity to watch two rugby games in the Pacific Cup Challenge. The first game I got to watch was Canada vs Samoa. This was such a good game! Samoa and Canada both fought hard but Canada came away with the win by no more than two points. The next game was between Fiji and Argentina, sadly for Fiji, Argentina won the game. Rugby is such an amazing sport in so many ways! I love it!

Anyway,  Now to let you guys continue our adventures here in Fiji, projects are coming along so well! I can't believe how much I have been learning here!

FENC- has become one of my absolute favorite places to be. I now work one on one with a little boy named Wami. And let me tell you, he has so much potential. This boy is a natural born leader and protector. He is about 10 years old and all of the children follow him and he watches out for them. I love it. He also is so smart and can work so hard. I cannot explain how rewarding it is to work with him, and watch him get closer and closer to his potential and as he learns and gets it.  . I totally understand where the desire to become a teacher comes from. To see the potential of an individual and help them through education get closer and closer and finally understand things that are hard or challenging for them.  . It is such an amazing experience. I love it!

Saint Anne's - is going super well too! We got the pictures of the girls developed and have began progress on the picture board. I am so excited for this to come to life!

Saint Joseph's Secondary School- This past week we taught our music classes about the impact music has on your brain. This was an amazing experience because many of them had absolutely no idea how much of an impact music can make.

Swimming - So,  updates on the swimming project will come soon. Swimming and many of the projects got cancelled because of the cyclone - Pam. Upside is we are all ready to go and carry on like usual for the rest of our time here!

The weekend - The weekend the team went to a resort called Mango Bay. This resort was so much fun! We were able to see Fire Dancers,  go horseback riding to one of the famous waterfalls here in Fiji,  snorkel, swim,  and enjoy our time off. I would definitely recommend it to any of you wanting to experience a Fijian resort first hand!

Well,  sota tale - see you later!
I'll keep you guys updated!
So stay tuned for more of our Adventures in this beautiful country of Fiji! I love it here and I am so grateful for the opportunity I have been given to be here. Half way through,  and as the days go by I find myself wishing I could pause time for a bit longer. But anyway,  I'll keep you guys updated!

Hope you all are doing well in your own adventures at home!

Until next time!
