I think Fiji will stay in our hearts forever because of the lovely friends we made there and their enthusiasm for our Bible ministry.

Even though we were visiting Nangara for a short period of time, we felt that we had made some good friends. We were happy to see our Bibles from two years ago being used.

When we visited Buliya this year we were able to tour the village and see all the crafts that the villagers rely on for income.

We spent so much time at the First Landing Resort next to the Vuda Marina that I thought you'd like to see the beautiful grounds that surround the place - mostly very large, old trees and beautiful planting along the walkways.

Navadra Island was one of our favorite places in the western Fiji area. It was like our own private island - until the cruise ship arrived! The good news: they didn't stay long!

Another favorite was Waya Island - even though we weren't able to anchor in front of Octopus Resort as we had in the past. (The winds just did not make their anchorage safe for us.) At one point we anchored in the southern bay for the night, but as the wind turned around and increased (putting us on a lee shore), we pulled up the anchor and high tailed it to the northern bay - dropping our anchor just as we lost the last light of day. We did sleep soundly as we were in the lee of the island and the anchorage was calm.
