GREAT TEACHERS

Yolonda does a great job every week leading the kids in songs.

It is hard to see, but a kid at the dock had a crab on a string. What a pet!
Our teachers do a wonderful job teaching Bible stories to the kids.

Traveling Visitors

Robert & Sandra Darby and Cala traveled from TN to OK to visit with us while we were on vacation in the states. Robert was one of the three preachers who came to Kwajalein to build the church building on Gugeegue. Robert & Sandra have a strong love for the Lord. Blessings to their precious family.

Great School Year

Peterson & Yolonda have been working several nights a week teaching the kids Bible stories & songs out of their one room home. They have around 40 kids learning God's word. Peterson & Yolonda are hard workers for the Lord and a real blessing to the church. Lee had to make two stacked high trailer trips to the dock to get all the boxes to the church building. The girls back packs full of school supplies ready for the girls to pick up. The only thing better than getting the school supplies is getting your Mother to carry it home for you. We had enough supplies to give the younger kids a couple pencils, paper & ruler. Every child went home with something. After all that we had enough supplies to give the teacher who graciously lets us meet in his room every week. God's blessings on all who made this the greatest school year for our kids.

School Supplies

We have several people to thank for providing a fantastic start to school for the Marshallese children. Thank you to Paul Hester and the Shiloh church of Christ for back packs, school supplies, diapers and personal supplies. Thank you especially for all the personal notes of encouragement written to Lee and I from the members of the Shiloh church. Thank you also to Brad & Sandra Dodd for several boxes of school supplies. Brad & Sandra have been a huge supporter of our mission with the Marshallese people. Thank you to Dean & Becky Lightfoot from Cedar Park, TX for school, personal supplies & toys. The Lightfoots have been a great blessing to the kids. Thank you also to the Walnut church of Christ for school supplies. Walnut has been a tremendous blessing for our kids. I put all the paper, pens, pencils, erasers, rulers, crayons, colored pencils, calculators, & markers in the back packs and some how Lee and I will find a way to carry everything to church Sunday. I have no doubt our kids will have the best start to school they have ever had. God bless all for your generosity. I will post pics Sunday

OKLAHOMA

We are in Oklahoma getting to know our grandson. Julianna had a virus while staying with us. Her mother had it, Lee caught it and now I have it. Unfortunately it canceled our trip to California and Lee's presentation at the Hanford c of c. My sister is in remission from cancer but her immune system is low and she has shingles. I felt that exposing her to a virus that seems to get passed around so easily was not what my sister needed right now. My sister, Virginia, is very miserable with the shingles. Please keep her in your prayers.
