A Few Christmas Angels Opportunities Left

They finally put an A/C in the room our kids have been meeting for bible class.  The school is made out of plywood  with no insulation, at all,
and the windows do not open.  It was miserably hot in that room.

For Christmas this year we are assigning one child (or more if wanted) and asking you to get one APO/FPO box and fill it with Christmas goodies for that one child. We are moving along  well, but we have a few kids left.  We have had trouble getting boxes around Christmas time in the past so I am asking everyone to mail their box by Nov. 15th. Email me at nothertz@gmail.com and I will assign you a child and all the instructions.

Could you guess how many different Marshallese words refer to the coconut tree?  There are dozens of words in Marshallese that refer to coconuts in various stages and the byproducts of the coconut fruit and tree.
