I arrived at Fiji airport right on time. But... I didn’t see my pickup person.
I called the Ywam base and asked about it. They were surprised I was already here, haha, somehow they thought I was coming the next day. They told me to stay at the airport and they were coming right away!
Yeey ..made it safely to the Ywam base. I have a really nice room mate Esther. She is from Fiji and did her DTS here and is now part of the staff. She told me that there are quite a few mosquitoes around. I’m so happy with the mosquito-net that YWAM Cooks gave me! I hung it up directly and am now safe from all the insects that they have in Fiji!
The next day we had a big Ywam kids party. They run kidsclub on the base for a whole season and this was the last one of the season. Next week everyone has Christmas Holiday. So we had a big Christmas party.
John is the most amazing kids leader I have seen! He has a vision, a goal and goes for it. He organised and decorated the whole party. He just told us what we needed to do as a team.
The staff cooked dinner together with GG, our neighbour to prepare for a lovely Christmas meal with the kids.
I helped out with welcoming the kids on arrival and waited with them outside before they were allowed to go inside. I had some nice conversations with them and took a lot of amazing pictures. The kids here are so beautiful! Some were a little shy and some couldn’t have enough photos haha. It’s amazing how photography connects and shows them how amazing God made them!
Yeey we are welcome to join inside. John lead the group with singing, teaching and dancing! It was a true celebration. Then it was time for food! Hmm it was delicious. The kids really enjoyed it. Specially they liked the ice cream! Haha. They all got in the end a diploma of participation for the whole kids club season. It was amazing to see those kids shining and learning more about God and His values for life. Thank you Jesus for this kids club, the kids and the staff. Keep blessing all of them and share your love and wisdom more and more everyday. You are good all the time.
