December 24

All of Suva is at work today. Downtown Suva is crowded with shoppers and the streets are a traffic jam.  I am not sure if it was last minute shopping for Christmas (doubtful), or last minute shopping for groceries and staples as the market is closed tomorrow.

We along with the Welles, and the Hogges went to see the Hobbit today.  Nice movie.  Not a good movie for the day before Christmas.  One of the nice surprises is that the theatre is clean.

Spent Christmas Eve reading the nativity, and being thankful for the birth of the Son of God.  Grateful for the Savior's life, his atonement, his example, his willingness to die so that I might live again.  Grateful to Him for his care and concern for me individually.  I am so blessed to be here in Fiji serving a mission.  I love that I am part of the process of the gospel filling the whole earth.  As inadequate as I am, with His help I can be the missionary He wants me to be.
