Market Day

Posted bycgvanPosted inDevotionals

Last week we went to Rigau to shop and to visit the immigration office. We did not see him but we did some shopping. When we got home we also found out that I got a flat tire. We are using Matt and Laura’s vehicle and Matt is prepared because we have two spares and a brand new tube in the pickup. That meant that I could wait till market day to get the tube changed. I never cease to be amazed at Nigerian ingenuity.

Gremar needed some new flip-flops
We bought exercise books and he also sells cell phones and charges cell phone batteries.

That was last week so on Monday I had my tire repaired, and Gremar bought rice, dried fish, tomatoes and peppers for the meal at the course we do with pastors, evangelists and their wives.

It is hard work breaking that bead
After he puts in the new tube he has the equipment to air up the tire.
The whole procedure is done by hand, this guy knew what to do. It was a good thing I had a new tube the flat tire already had five patches on it.
If you want you can also buy petrol (Gas) right there.

Meanwhile Gremar was buying supplies, she would like to take you along sometime.

It must be a lot of work to grow vegetables in the dry season
The rice is locally grown but shelled and ready to cook
Once dried they last a month unrefrigerated.

One thought on “Market Day”

  1. Love the blog updates. Great veggies, but forget the fish. Parts are like Haiti 🙂 Pray that the courses/teaching/encouraging is going well. Godspeed.
