‘Shopping’ episode of “THE REAL MISSIONARIES OF EAST AFRICA” – Opening:  A missionary finds American sweet potatoes at the grocers… cell-phones co-workers with the news!  2nd scene:  Reading the morning news, another missionary learns gas rises tomorrow from $5.49 to $5.60 per gallon (shillings to dollar/ litre to gallon adjusted)… heads out to buy petrol.  3rd scene:  A man shops for a special gift for his wife… an imported box of ‘Triscuits’ ($7+) or an American magazine ($14)? Closing scene:  Leaving with her sweet potatoes, the missionary greets friends racing into the store to buy the remaining sweet potatoes.  Show ends with the woman happily perusing her ‘gift’ – a new ‘Good Housekeeping’ magazine – as sweet potatoes bake!
