Senior Missions Trip - Day 8
This is the couple hosting the Trinity boys. They are missionaries Tony and Martha Cornelius. Tony is the senior pastor of a church and they have lived on Dominica for twenty-five years. In between working and trying to cool off in the shade or some waterway, the boys get to meet local people and experience island life and culture. They met a young man who, armed with a spear and goggles, brought in his lobster dinner. Like many Caribbean islands, the people of Dominica are generally poor and live off the land for many things. Mangos and bananas are plentiful here (Patrick reports that the mangos are amazing) and there is some farming. While we consider lobster to be a luxury dinner, here they are as commonplace as crayfish in the bayou.
