Tasty Crust




After an "upper end" breakfast last Saturday, we went to the locals favourite place for breakfast on the island, the "Tasty Crust" in Wailuku, today. I didn't get a picture from inside, just the outside one shown, but it is pretty ordinary. However, the locals flock there because of the food, especially their pancakes. Afterwards, we were dropped off at a Shopping Mall and took the bus back to Haggai. Marlene spent the most of the day in the volunteers kitchen, because she is doing coffee breaks next week.

We are now into March, our third and final month. In fact, we only have four more weeks plus a day of work, but who is counting. Our term so far has been somewhat uneventful - no earthquakes, serious sickness or other problems. We have guests arriving for Convocation next thursday, after which one group will leave. The following weekend will see a group leave and a new one arrive, which is a busy time.

I had another "small world" story unfold today. One of our participants here from Camaroon , does IT support for Wycliffe Bible Translators. Our church at home had a young missionary couple, Greg & Tracy McLean, home from Camaroon for the birth of their third child and wouldn't you know that the participant here and the McLeans know each other. Always amazes me how small the world really is. I kind of envy Greg because this young fellow was able to help me very quickly with a computer problem. I think everyone who owns a computer should have an IT support person. This young fellow left Camaroon with a three week old baby at home, another example of how much the participants value the Haggai training.

Hi Marlene and Ralph
The pictures are absolutely beautiful.
By the way I understand Greg left last week to go back to Cameroon.
Blessing always.
