a mid-semester PARTY

This week is mid-semester break for USP and FNU students. For them, that means no classes (except most of them still have lots of assignments and tests...) but for us, it's a week packed full of not-on-campus-all-day-every-day ministry.

On Saturday, we had a prayer breakfast followed by an evaluation meeting with student leaders to check out goals that we had set for the year and to evaluate our progress. At the beginning of the year, as a movement (students + staff+ STINTers), we made a goal to share our faith with 2000 students. Currently, we've shared with 2083ish! I can't believe that over 2000 students have clearly heard the gospel at the USP and FNU campuses.


Monday, we held a Leadership training day where we talked about the relationships, roles, and responsibilities of a leader. We also discussed with the girls what things hinder strong leadership within women (namely, lack of consistency in time with the Lord, gossip, and lack of commitment). We want to give students a clear picture of characteristics of a solid leader in any aspect of life and then give them an opportunity to live that out within Student Life.



Yesterday was Suli's birthday celebration! She turned 20 last week, so Niumai and I took her out for pizza and brownies. so good.





The Rugby World Cup is in full swing. New Zealand's hosting the games, and Fiji couldn't be more exciting. With one of the two channels on our t.v. being the official world cup provider, we've had to figure out how to arrange our antenna to get a "clear" and colored picture. Mary suggested aluminum foil. It didn't help. Regardless, rugby has been our football substitute this fall.





We celebrated the 10 points that america scored on Ireland in the
cup with the only real way to celebrate: funfetti cake. Compliments of my ma- all the way from america! YUM YUM YUM.





stay tuned for what the rest of mid-semester break holds!
