Fiji Day 10

This morning we got up and went over to the house in Suva for breakfast. After that we all got in the van and went over to the Fiji History Museum. It was pretty cool, the first rooms showed many of the different boats that came to Fiji either from southeast asia or when the british came. There was some pottery that had been found in the Sigatoka Sand Dunes that dated back about 3000 years ago. We could see many of there early weapons, bows and clubs ect. Then we saw the shoe of Thomas Baker. He was a missionary that came to Fiji and was cannibalized by the people, his shoe was the only thing left. After that his family ended up coming to Fiji and reconciling with village that ate him, their example of forgiveness brought them to Christ, showed them grace. After the chief was converted the entire village began to follow Christ. Through the British/Christian movement the people of Fiji turned away from cannibalism and began to embrace much of western influence. After the museum we headed back to the house for lunch, after lunch some people went back to the waterfall, but I went to the internet café where I got to talk to my family, post from this journal to update people on everything that is going on here in Fiji. Then I went and saw the movie Robocop, which was pretty good. Now im back in the internet café but they are out of wifi codes so I cannot post anything right now or talk to my family. I am a little sore right now, not exactly sure why, we haven’t been on the farm for a few days working, but it might be because of the beds, they are not extremely comfortable and the pillow is kind of awkwardly big, but all in all I am doing well and am looking our last few days in Suva before heading out to Sydney.
