The Owl

So we came out the temple two nights ago and were talking to a local couple and some of the security guards saw an owl fly right past us. I didnt know what all the fuss was about since they were speaking in fijian until they said you must be pregnant, robin! bahaha so rumor has it that an owl comes when someone is expecting. Fiji is so superstitous I tell ya!

BULA VINAKA!

WELCOME TO FIJI!!Suva, Fiji Temple grounds

Tane and I dining at an old friend of his resturant in the city.

It was yummy indian food:)

yummy eggplant curry!

This haircut was only $12 FJ and was a total rip off!!

We told him we wanted a fade and this is what we got. I was laughing it was the most horrible haircut i have ever seen! It made no sense! I just told Tane lets go theirs no point in trying to tell this man what a fade is! So we went home and I fixed it!

After....I only had his beard trimmer and was able to do a better job than the barber :/

A view of our room at temple apartments!

Thats the church elementry school and chapel down the street.

Heres our chapel

Buses have no windows and usually bump loud fijian music!

Its a pretty fun ride to be honest!

Went on a walk and found some cool views

Legend has it that 3 sisters fell in love with 3 men from a neighboring tribe, but amrriage was forbidden by law. Battled ensued, and the sister were turned to stone by and elder to protect them, but he was killed in the fighting and no one else could turn them back! So here they stand!

CIRCLE OF TRUST

"You show your trust in Him when you listen with the intent to learn and repent and then you go and do whatever He asks…..And if you then go and do what He would have you do, your power to trust Him will grow, and in time you will be overwhelmed with gratitude to find that He has come to trust you."

-Henry B. Eyring
