Day 15, Rarotonga.

Ron meditating on the Friday night message

Blogging at the Beach!

. Internet is sketchy now, we've overused Murray's account so we're having!! to go to the resorts to get online. On Tuesday and Wednesday nights we had Men's and Women's cell groups here at the house. Good groups, both. I gave a brief testimony and Nancy spoke a little on the Book of Ruth and then prayed for the girls. They are gearing up for the revival meetings that begin tomorrow night (Friday). Today the local television station came by the church to interview Murray and Ron and Kevin Iro, who is a Rarotongan who played professional rugby for the Warriors but is now retired and living back on the Island, he's one of the founding members of the church and is well known around here and actually carries a lot of weight with the locals. He's the church worship leader and is actually very shy but is willing to do interviews and such to promote the church. It was on the local news tonight and the newspaper will come out tomorrow with a large editorial on the church, so we're expecting an even larger group come Sunday. Ron and I went to The Rarotongan Resort today. We had heard it was a great place to snorkel, and was it ever! It was fantastic. The water was clear and warm and the fish were plentiful and very colorful and large. Blue fish, yellow & black striped fish, green fish, yellow fish, black fish and the list goes on. I even saw one black one with a green stripe around it's body. Beautiful. We swam for a long while and then went to the pool and chatted with our boys for a while on Facebook. I love Facebook. It has been a life-saver on this trip. We've been able to chat with many of our friends at the church. It has kept up connected. We went to Indian food tonight for dinner. We love Indian food and have decided somebody needs to open one up in Coos Bay. we'll do our best to keep up with the blog for the remainder of this trip, but it might be a few days in between. No worries, though, we'll be home next week and make you all look at our pictures and home movies! It'll be great.
