It wasn't the best way to begin our mission---arriving LATE to the MTC. No one believed our excuse that we were adapting to the culture of Fiji by ignoring time restraints. Everyone was kind about it any way. The day went like this. Sit and listen. Eat. Sit and listen. Eat. Walk around the MTC campus for exercise. Find an exercise room which means everything is right in Scott's world. Change. Begin studying for tomorrow. We've reading to do and preparation. We are to give a first discussion tomorrow and then be critiqued on our presentation skills. NO SWEAT.
We are touched by all of the young Elders and Sisters who are giving up time, education, etc. to serve the Lord. What an amazing bunch of kids. Met an Elder from Fiji who is going to serve in the Phillipines. I was so excited to greet him. "Bula, Elder." He grinned from ear to ear and replied, "Bula, vinaka" Score!!!! My first successful interchange with a Fijian. I was psyched. The real lessons in Fijian begin tomorrow.
