I wish...
1,050 rashers of bacon... We cannot get bacon here, it is a sad thing. On the upside, we found a shop that sells sesame seeds - tahini here we come which is a hop, skip and a jump to hummus! Woop Woop

Hallo
Realized I haven't posted for a little while, so just a quick (and mundane) one to say hi.
Things are really busy here at the moment. Lots of ministry and preparations for the district convention have started, resulting in more work. On the happy side, two of my studies have taken their unbaptised publisher questions and one has begun his baptism questions, which is all vey exciting.
The month of June is going to be hard. Everyone is leaving from here to return for work etc, so it leaves myself and a sister here to do all the interpreting and cover all the studies until Amy gets back here in July. It's going to be mad. I just hope the rain lets up - rainy season here so all day rain and all day black outs at the moment. Not fun. To make matters worse, my laptop picked up a virus and has completely died - wont even start up as the whole hard drive has corrupted. I have lost all my pictures and stuff for work back in the uk: everything. Not happy. Having to buy a new one from the states and get someone to bring it. There goes six months of living here in Guyana and for the time being, my ability to watch knock off DVDs we buy in the capital!
Right I had better get out of bed and get to market to buy some food to cook dinner for the girls tomorrow. They let me pick out of their fridge in the week on the understanding I cook dinner on a Sunday. Recipe ideas would be appreciated... On that note - below is a fruit that grows here called breadfruit. Not sure if we can get it back home. It has a latex residue that comes out of its skin and is a nightmare to cut and peel, but if you get into it and boil and fry it, it is delicious - sort of like bread, sort of like plantain.
Ciao for now.
