Another International Praise Night

Another evening of listening to the participants praise god through singing and entertaining each other. These evenings are very lighthearted and preceded by a poolside dinner.

The picture with Marlene and me is with a participant from Panama. He is a very excitable chap, but he always has a ready smile. He tells us he can see the Panama canal from his house, and he does a lot of work evangelizing children.

Our table company for dinner was two Kenyans and two Tanzanians. One of the latter is a banker. It is always amazing how when you get into a conversation, you always have something in common. We told them one of our daughters and her husband had visited Africa. That only led to them putting real pressure on us to come and visit them in Africa, seeing as we are retired with lots of time on our hands. Marlene's only excuse was her fear of flying, but then she had to explain how she got to Maui.

The bottom picture is "Sus"! He is an employee here at Haggai, an assistant to the VP in charge. Sus makes sure everything works, from computers to projectors, etc. He was born and raised here and has never left. This makes him somewhat of a rarity, since only 16% of the population fits into this category.
