Mega Gymnasium

I met with Julie and her daughter Jennifer for a treat down by the harbour today. Jennifer was in Miss Gloria's reading class where I got to know her in 2017 and 2018.

But before we went down harbourside, Julie took me on a detour to see her brother to unlock her phone 😂. Her brother supervises a huge new gymnasium still under construction on the hill just next door to Epauto High School. It is massive! It is being built by local people but Julie's brother wasn't too sure who funded it - possibly the Trans Pacific Union Mission.
 The school has an agreement to use it on Wednedsays, and I saw some children playing volleyball, and some playing soccer.
 Curioulsy there was a whole lot of hospital type beds there as well so I asked Julie's brother how come? He said they were due to go out clinics and health centres but there was some problem (surprise, surprise) so they were being stored there temporarily.
 Offices etc are still being constructed along one end.

Not sure what happened to the middle of this banyan tree close to the gymnasium. 

We only have one more day of working here - time has gone so fast, as we knew it would. We have had some successes and several frustrations. We pray for our last day to be fruitful.
