This is two of three missles that were fired from Vandenburg AFB, CA. at Kwajalein this week. I'm really surprised I got this good a pic in the dark. All three of them came in and landed in the Atoll just off Kwaj. It happened pretty fast and was really cool. Everyone was lined up on the shore watching for the missiles. When they came in everyone said ohhhh, ahhhh and then applauded. I said "that was neat....do it again." You have to remember that we did not see any fireworks on the 4th of July. I suspect the fireworks would have been cheaper, however. A big Thank You to Linda Poppen, from South Dakota, who is Monica's mother. Linda sent clothes, toys, and school supplies for the kids on Gugeegue. God Bless you for thinking of others. Blessings to all

Gods Word

We finally made it back to Gugeegue for our church service. I apologize for my camera. It has decided to not open up all the way thus the black spots on the top and bottom. We passed out the Bibles and the kids were so thrilled and proud to get such a beautiful Bible. We had more kids than we had Bibles but I think the Edmond C Of C is going to help us get some more. This is Joey. He is a pistol! Monica Wiggins and her kids sent the car Joey is holding as well as one of the Bibles we passed out today and some back to school supplies for the kids. Thank you to Monica and the lessons she is teaching her kids to give to others. There was not another inch for one more person in our pick up for our ride from Ebeye to Gugeegue and back again. We really could use a small bus for our trips. Thank you once again to Audrey Mauck and the Young Families class at the Edmond church of Christ for the bulk of our Bibles. A big thank you also to our daughter Gina for a Bible and numerous supplies she has sent. Please keep my sister,Virginia, in your prayers. She has cancer in every organ of her body and they are saying she has 6-8 weeks to live. She lives in CA and thank God, we had a chance to visit while Lee and I were in CA for Lee's training. I will be thankful for that always. To God be the Glory! Love you all!

Just a few more scenes on Kwaj. Cloudy sunset but very beautiful. One of the small crafts docks. A ship making a delivery on Kwaj. Praise God, my cousin's surgery went well on removing her cancer. She has a long road ahead of her with chemo. My sister, Virginia, has also discovered she has cancer and the immediate diagnoses does not look good. Please keep them both in your prayers. Blessings to all.

This is one way the Marshalleese go fishing. They snorkel in the water to catch fish. They have fishing poles too but every week there are one to four guys fishing by snorkeling.




It is hard to see here but this is off the dock on Ebeye where we catch the fairy back to Kwaj. The water was amazingly clear today. There was a school of small fish that were swaying back and forth in the water. All of a sudden they start jumping out of the water because some larger blue fish are swarming up below them and catching the smaller fish. Fish were jumping all over the place. I'm sure it wasn't so exciting for the small fish but it was exciting to watch how the food chain works.


This is where the larger fish were catching the smaller fish flopping to the surface.

God's wonders are abundant.

We could not get any of the taxi's to go to Gugeegue again this week so we had 26 kids from Ebeye again. They are really great kids and they seem to always be interested in the Bible stories. Most of them go to school so they understand English pretty well. The younger ones do not understand nearly as much because they only hear what is spoken in their homes.
I have someone working on securing a regular taxi every Sunday so unless the roads are impassable we will have someone we can depend on for the trip to Guegeegue.

I gave only one Bible out because we had more kids than we had Bibles. God willing, we will worship in Gugeegue next week and we can pass out the Bibles to our regular kids. I gave the Bible out to Jr. because he is a regular who came to church before we moved here. Jr. is an 8th grader so I figure about 13 yrs old. He is really helpful and a smart, great kid. He lives on Ebeye and rides in the back of the pick up when we go to Gugeegue.

Blessings to all.
