Local market sells organic food…

At the bottom you will see a long list of a few of the fruits and vegetables that you can find at the market that I have names for…

Market time is a special time of social interaction. It is at the market, that people tell stories, catch up on news, meet new friends, and sometimes just pass the time of day away.

Typically market is run by a man who charges everyone who sells a fee to sell. His job is to maintain order and settle any disputes that might arise. In general it is the job of a woman to sell the produce…however, sometimes you will find men helping out their wives who can’t make it to work.

In general, in the highlands where we are at…it is appropriate for women to wear long slacks or dresses.

Generally, when you buy produce at the market…you do not shop for quality…they will appreciate you more if you spread the wealth and buy from various sellers.

At some markets, you will find men who sell their hand crafted artifacts.

The end of the road…

We praise the Lord for giving us safety as we traveled over 10,000 miles since leaving Missouri the beginning of March.  It has been such a blessing reconnecting with so many people who have been praying for us during the past year.  We will be staying in Lynden, Washington until we leave for Papua New Guinea at the end of June.
