New Address

Our Post Office has changed our address to further assist in their sorting process. Our new address is: CMR #701 PO BOX 1652 APO, AP 96555-0017 It will get to us with the other address but probably not as fast (which is crazy anyway out in the middle of the pacific ocean). There is no such thing as fast on Kwaj. It comes with the package.

Baby Clothes and School Supplies

Lee and I carried as much as we could carry to church yesterday. Thank you to Monica Wiggins who sent some baby girl clothes and school supplies for all the kids. Monica's children, Austin and Rachel, also sent a cash donation they had saved and given to the children on Gugeegue. What a wonderful way to teach your children at a young age to give to others. The mothers divided the school supplies among the kids. Thank you also to Bonnie Howell who sent several boxes of baby boys clothes. I intended to get a pic yesterday of the mothers dividing them up, but the taxi's were waiting on us. The mothers were so grateful to get the clothes. They said to give you all a big "Thank you." Most do not have a job and they would have so little without your help. One of the mothers gave me the plant hanger on the left. It really is pretty with a plant in it but I was afraid it would walk off outside. It is made out of sea shells. The fish on the right was given to us for Christmas. God's Blessings to you all.

Missing Preacher

Church service was very interesting today. Paul Hester went home on Monday and Lee is in Honolulu today on his way back home from classes in San Diego. We had two full taxi loads come to church. There were two men that were just baptised about a week and half ago and the rest were women and kids and no preacher. I talked one of the men through doing a great job for the Lord's Supper. I had a DVD to play on the TV and player for a sermon. I taught the kids class, we took the Lords Supper and I tried to pop the DVD in the player and the player wouldn't work. I walked a really fine line trying to not preach to the crowd but giving a really short run down on what they missed. All I could do was apologize and say, Lee will be back next week. We missed you Lee! Please come home soon. We need a preacher! Amen Brother!

Baby number 3

We had another mother with a baby show up at church today. The lady on the right was one of our regulars who came with her friend (or relative) who has a 3 week old baby girl. She had little boy clothes on him. She probably heard we give baby clothes to new mothers, but that is okay. She was at church and we have the chance to tell her about Jesus. If you have any baby girl clothes please mail them with some disposable diapers this week to Avis Cummings PO Box 1652 APO, AP 96555 Please keep in mind it is 86 degrees every day of the year here so onsies and shorts or dresses for girls are great. Also keep in mind that this baby is already 3 weeks old. Babies grow fast, no need to send newborns. Start at 3 months. Any baby or kids clothes of any size will not go to waste. Blessings to all.

Greenlawn

Thank you to Greenlawn church of Christ for the support they sent to help pay for the taxi's during our Gospel Meeting. We have to pay to catch the taxi between Ebeye and Gugeegue. The absolute worst road I have ever been on in my life time. This pic is of one of our taxi loads. The mission was a huge success. We have six new brothers and sisters in Christ. That is more than double what we did have. The building is so close to being finished we can actually see the end of the tunnel. May God Bless you all for your help.
