yeah!

We selected writings for feast yesterday. I said a prayer that spoke of food. Later I glanced at the table and saw no food so I expected us to just leave. Still a good feast I thought. Suddenly the host pulled out some chips, cheese, crackers bread and apple pie with some lemonade on hte side. Enough for all of us and then some.

The mad

Last night Phillip and I were with some of the youth from St.Maarten and Guyana. They talked about the problems in the education system and politics along with other personal issues. I usually enjoy when I hear someone speak from their heart, it always seems there is a guiding force influencing them. Two days ago we were able to get a Hatian French speaking Bahai to help us talk to one of the French store owners. She owns a Health food shop on the French side, so technically I have been to France. Tourist season is beginning which means there are alot more people on the island. I can imagine more traffic. The internet cafe I am in is already filled. Tonight is one of the Ruhi books. There

I have twelve minutes to encapsulate in this small blog using a bunch of symbols the essence of what the heck is going on here in ST. Maarten in relation to my Bahai service. There are 3 study circles. One with our neighbors(a 12 and 15 year old) another at thsi Persian ladies house named Susan with a person interesetd in the Bahai faith and her young daughter. Fortunately God has been merciful and we actually are able to make progress. The other I have never been to but I heard its good. There are some interesting and kind Bahais on the Island who we meet up with from time to time. Ive read Leifs blog and in terms of Bahai service His seems more organized but..weve been blessed with seekers.Unfortunately we dont always speak the same language. There are about 4 or 5 different languages spoken on the island(actually its more but whos counting?) Most people speak English unless there French. And those who speak English dont always speak the same type.
