Suva, Fiji: Old Friends and New (Toothy) Ones
It’s drizzling outside on a muggy tropical evening here in Fiji. The flying foxes are out, and earlier today I administered final exams for the courses I was teaching here: Christian WorldView and New Testament Survey. It’s been a while since I taught the latter (Moscow 2005, I believe), and it was just as much fun as I remembered.
My teaching assistants, Rose and Caleb, did an outstanding job. Rose told me that she still remembered very much of the course that she took from me while still a single gal with Philippines Campus Crusade for Christ back in 1985! Caleb, on the other hand, was with us in Guam as we worked to help bring about Expo 1985, the world’s first international conference mediated by satellite teleconferencing.
The highlight of my off-duty time was a thrilling pair of dives with Beqa Adventure Divers. You can see a very short video about my time bumping elbows with bull sharks here.
