We arrived safely in Port Moresby on Wednesday. The CLTC staff here is a gracious group. They have given us a short introduction to what goes on in this city ministry, one family has had us to dinner at their home, and they have kindly driven us to get set up with supplies we need.
On our first day here, Ruth showed us some of the places to buy food. At a market, we saw something new to us.
Saursap looks something like an enormous pear with bumps on it. We thought it looked intriguing, and we were assured that it is sweet--otherwise we might have passed up this odd thing.
You can see it is white inside, and it has what look like giant-sized watermelon seeds. The flesh is soft.
"OK. Guess I'll be bold!" Yes, it has a taste something like a mango. An Aussie friend described the taste as similar to "fruit salad."

Hi! How long will you be in Port Moresby? We are in Pittsburgh doing services and on to Indianapolis next week. The Lord is blessing!
Daniel and I tried something that looked just like that in Hawaii, except there they call it "breadfruit," I think. Its texture was very like a banana but its taste was extremely sweet--almost too sweet for us!

Hey, congratulations on expecting a baby! Hope your fashion show is fun!
Thanks for the English word for that fruit. I think you are correct that "breadfruit" is what we call it.
