These last three weeks here in Fiji have been great. The normalcy of life and less hectic pace is a welcome change. We still feel a bit smaller in size without our American visitors and would rather have them all here with us. The children have plunged into their schoolwork. I think they too realize that our time before furlough is short and the more they work, they sooner they will be finished. What a great blessing that everyone should be finished with their grade by the time we leave in April.

Lazarus is reading aloud to us while the girls play with dolls and Little People. We enjoy such a happy life and so much like days gone by in America, like days before air conditioning and television, which although a blessing, can also serve as jailors.
