Hello everyone. Today was Saturday, Day 11 of our South Pacific Island Adventure. We were up this morning scootering to the Saturday Market, where you can buy fresh fruit (bananas on the stalk), food, crafts, etc. etc. Fun day. I bought a great bag and Ron had breakfast, a sausage roll. Then we rode around the island, which about 25 miles and ended up back in town for a stroll through the shops. Soon after lunch at the Flying Boat for fish & chips (Parrot fish is great), we headed to the church for final preparations for the big opening day. We placed huge pots of palms and other plants around the building, the worship team practiced, one lady made huge arrangements of tropical plants for the lobby, Ron, Kerry & Murray hung the screen from the ceiling and just lots of things were accomplished. We're ready for tomorrow. There are 120 chairs set up, so it will be exciting to see how many are filled. There was a good write up in the local paper, they spelled Oregon (O r e g a n) wrong but they got our names right and that's all that matters. Murray is preaching the opening service and we will be speaking during the Fresh Revival Services on Friday &/or Saturday next week. (Murray really hasn't told us yet). Murray and Ron got in on the last of a rugby game and then met us for dinner at a gourmet hamburger place. Ron ate a Chicken, Bacon & Banana Sandwich! He said it was great, he wants bananas on all his chicken now. We're back home now listening to the waves and Ron is having a cuppa' tea, Earl Grey with a splash of milk and raw sugar. He's really into the culture. Have a great Sunday, we know we will.
