The last night was very good.

The only natural resource is salt. Everyone makes a living from tourism or off shore banking. The cost of living is extremely high. Lodging is the biggest expense about $700 to $1000 per month. Hotels run from $100 to $400 per night for modest rooms. Condos don’t have a limit they go from $400 to as high as $4000 per night a month in a Condo is $40,000. I checked on rooms again today , I went to three different places they were all full. The cheapest was $500 per month with shared bathroom, also not the cleanest place. last two days we were in Caicos we made several connections, mostly from riding in taxis and talking to the drivers. We found a good clean place to eat for $5. The place where we staying had an unfinished upstairs that had a bathroom and electric avail that they said they would rent to us by the week. This is a good central location that is near a main teaching area that you could walk to.

The Last night we were finally able to organize a small meeting with about 30 people. When I arrived several people said they had given me a ride in the last week. I had several photos from the hurricane in Haiti last year. The pictures of the fish ponds brought a question “ do you know Jacque Myrtil from Gonaives?” There were several people who knew people that we knew. I also showed photos from India and talked about the persecution the people face when they became Christians. When I finished with the photos I spoke on the one church, weekly communion and gave three conversion stories. Ethiopian Eunuch, Paul in Damascus, and the Jailor in Acts 16. When I finished speaking they has lots of questions. We talked for about an hour answering each question from the scripture. I encouraged them to have the courage of Paul that if they were not in Christ Church and they were following traditions of men that they needed to change. I told them they could meet in their homes and gave examples from Col 4:15,Rom 16:5 and Philemon v 2. They were very encouraging and told me they would be meeting every Sunday at 10 am. I have their contact numbers and will keep in touch with them. They ask me to return. I told them I would, Lord willing soon.
Thanks for following the blog we still have a few photos to sort through and post. We arrived home after a 16hr drive from Atlanta Ga > I must say it's good to be home.
