Sunday

A quiet Sunday afternoon, maybe the quiet before the storm. We have many guests here, most of whom are staying for the big US Thanksgiving holiday. Some suggest it is a bigger holiday than Christmas. A sign at Walmart advertised that they will open at 5:00am this Friday. We also have a Convocation on Thursday, so it will be busy. No half day off this week. One of the people I met this week was Randy Menary, a former NHL hockey player who grew up in Leamington. He played for Detroit, Los Angeles and Atlanta. He works for Haggai now in Atlanta and he oversees fundraising. Since it costs Haggai US$9100 for each participant they train, Menary has a very important job.

We went to a church on the beach this morning and it was a different experience. Good message, but the music was not our type. That seems normalat many churches here, the worship team performs moreso than leads, and this morning it was "heavy metal".

The bottom picture was taken from our room. There certainly is lots of beauty in the scenery around the island. Having the camera with you to get it in picture is the challenge.

We are now into week eight, and it is time to start making a list of the things we want to do before leaving. We will rent a car at least once to see the parts of the island we haven't yet seen.
