One of the most common ways people socialize in a small community that's removed from entertainments is to visit in each other's homes. Last night we had a student couple and their son for dinner and conversation. (The preschool son was tired and went to sleep on the sofa. Thus no picture of him.) My current menu for student visits is curried chicken and vegetables over rice with some raw vegetables on the side, fresh pineapple, bread rolls and banana cake.
It is always fascinating to learn about the students' experiences. This couple is from Malaita, Solomon Islands. The husband represented their nation in soccer competitions when he was a teen. He was able to travel to Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand for international team competitions.They both have an eagerness to learn to teach the Bible in a knowledgeable way. The wife wants to find materials in their language to help women of their church learn to read and write. We pray God will use the couple to continue to build the church in the Solomons.
