Fiji Regional Conference - Day 13: "Odds and Ends!"

A backstory to attending the netball game:
Dan and I waited for a while to meet up with some of the rest of our staff team.  As we waited a frog hopped behind my legs where I was sitting.  We couldn't get a reply to our text when we'd been waiting for a while, and the game had already started.  Question:  Is it more polite and loyal to keep waiting, or would we just make everyone feel bad that we waited.  When it started to rain, we went with option two.  It turned out that they went for that option as well and were already seated on the opposite side of the stadium.  Our seats were pretty close to the action at one end by the goal.  The unusal thing about our seats in this indoor stadium is that we felt little sprinkles of rain on us every now and then!  However, a little rain is kinda welcome in a crowd in the tropics!

Also...I learned a banana dance that goes to a rap beat.  The beat is: Doop, de doo doo, (pause) Doop, doop, de doo doo.  The words go:  You got to peel banana, peel, peel, banana. (With actions)  You got to chop banana, chop, chop, banana...then there's "slice," "mash," "fry," "eat," and finally, "Go bananas, go, go, bananas!"  It's a hoot!



Ready for class!

Also...My theology class is held in a room in the Fiji Office.  Twelve of us are in that room, and our teacher says he's never taught in such a small area.  (We have a distinction!)  My teacher is an American, living in Singapore, teaching at the Cru seminary for East Asia there.  He's married to a Singaporean and has three small children...and is hoping he can make it through the two weeks until he sees them again.  (I really am enjoying his class!)
Morning tea!
