Fiji Day 17: Meetings!

Matthew's in Fiji!  He arrived with Jessica for  the National Directors Conference today, the 3 days of staff conference meetings here, and then for our 3 staff conference days at the resort.  It's great to have them here...though we miss Tammy and Josh.

But I gotta say...I don't get excited about meetings.  The business details of ministry are not very exciting.  (Things like filling in calendars for the next year.  Needed, yes.  Exciting, no.)  We did, however have a good (and needed) time of prayer.
 
 I think the kids got the better deal.  Jessica, Gail, and a few others swam, went out to lunch, and saw a movie.  After our meeting I saw Koli's two boys in the pool.  By the picture, guess where our meeting took place, Mills kids.  Do you remember?
 

We have 3 more days of business meetings before going to the resort for 3 days of fun and inspiration.

  1. In case anyone is wondering, Matthew is part of our Pacific Island regional team in New Zealand (Jessica is his daughter, and his wife Tammy and son Josh are still in NZ). Koli is the National Director of our ministry here in Fiji.

    1. The Director's meeting was at the Suva Motor Inn - I can't remember if you've ever stayed there. The business portion for 3 days is at the Salvation Army (where we had IBS last time), and the resort is a new place called the pearl: www.thepearlsouthpacific.com - but I don't think we're going to swim attired like that lady :-)
