Week # 6

Yesterday was another breakfast out, and we went back to a golf course (Wailea Golf Club) we had visited previously. But the weather was much nicer as you can see from the pictures. The golf fees for an 18 hole round of golf are $225, but their breakfast price in the restaurant is quite reasonable. The name of the restaurant is “Seawatch” and the pictures show the reason for the name. The two volunteer couples with us are from Oregon and Alabama. The Oregon couple are doing their 9th term here at Haggai, the Alabama couple their 1st. It was a very nice morning.
I had three airport runs yesterday, one delivery and two pickups. I was able to combine the two pickups as there was only an hour between. Schedules can change with delays, etc, but fortunately both were on time. My pickups were from Kenya and Uganda, so they both were arriving from long trips with 2 and 3 connections.
We also had a new volunteer couple arrive last night, and Marlene has volunteered us to “buddy” with them - make sure they find the dining room, find a church to go to, etc - so we look forward to this role. They are from Oliver, BC, just south of Kelowna.
We are now in the second half of our work term, so time is flying by. The current class is in their final week, and it is always busy with plans and preparation for convocation. Following that there will be a week without participants, and the following group will finish the same day we leave for home.

Our visit last Sunday with Rheo & Sally Thompson and their daughter Heather from Stratford was wonderful. We drove up to the Haleackla crater, had a nice lunch upcountry, gave them the manatory tour of Haggai, and toured some other areas. They had visited here on a cruise previously, so were familar with some of the island.
