Monday 23rd April:
At last the day we had all been waiting for for months! We flew into Tanna in the morning to be greeted at the airport by Pastor Solomon. He had been the Pastor at the Church in Leneai up until recently and was now living on Pentecost. He graciously came down to help us and was a huge blessing.
We jumped into the back of two trucks and enjoyed the bumpy trip to our new sleeping quarters for the week. Most locals were welcoming and waved as we went pass. Being a Monday it was market day so we tried our hand at buying some local fruit and vegetables. Mainly green vegetables available. Pastor Solomon came to the rescue and did most of the pointing and talking. So once we had our bags of oranges, mangoes, bananas, papaw and the like we were set to head on.
Andrew our building team leader was a little?? horrified to see our wooden crates being unloaded as we arrived at the market. Having been told they had arrived at least a week prior, it was quite a surprise to see them there! But, better there then back in Port Vila somewhere. God was good and He made sure we had what was needed the day it was needed, literally.
