Christmas Two

We received several Christmas boxes the week after Christmas.  We had some baptisms last week and the kids did not know they were getting a second Christmas so we did not take the boxes to church until this morning.

The kids were surprised and thrilled to get a second Christmas.  They are always happy every time they are given anything.

As you can see they have plenty in their bags.  I am still learning to use my camcorder but I will do the best I can to make a DVD for everyone who blessed us.  God's Blessings to all.

The Angels Are Rejoicing

The Angels are rejoicing today. We have two new sisters in Christ.  

We received several boxes this week for our Christmas.  We were going to take them today to church, but we found out we were having baptisms today.  We will surprise the kids with a 2nd Christmas next Sunday.  They are always thrilled any time they get something new.  Thank you to Robert Darby, Paul Hester and the Shiloh church and to Briana Mills who is teaching her kids to provide for others. 

God's blessings to all who have provided everyone with so much for our two Christmas'. We were so blessed by your generosity.

Candy Lucky & Otemroj Abin were the beautiful young ladies who were baptized into Christ today. They are the future of the church in Ebeye. Praise the Lord!

More Christmas 2010

 We had some coconut milk to drink at our Christmas party.  It was good.

 The girl with the pink ribbon was friends with our granddaughter, Julianna, when Julianna was here last summer.  Cala asks about Julianna almost every week.  Julianna asks about Cala every time I talk to her.  Neither one could speak a word the other could understand, but they managed to become good friends.

Tommy slept through Christmas lunch AND passing out all the toys and clothes.  His mother picked some goodies out for him.  I don't know how he slept through all the noise the kids made.  They were pretty excited.

Thank you to Monica Wiggens for another box that arrived this week. Thank you to everyone who made our Christmas such a blessing for all.

Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas.  Lots of food.  My turkey took longer to cook than the directions said.  We had to walk as fast as we could to the dock. Lee was pushing a loaded down cart.  I was carrying everything I could. We were the last ones on the ferry, but we made it.

The kids had plenty of Christmas presents. I saved up my grocery bags and gave all the kids a bag to carry all their goodies home.

Lee carried his hand pump over to blow up all the soccer and footballs. The powers that be have been cutting back on everything here on Kwaj.  They decided on Christmas week to make only ONE delivery of mail.  I was not a happy camper!  Good news is we may have Christmas for two or three weeks.

We received more boxes on the one day we did get mail from the Steven & Leandra Reeves family.  Steve & Leandra are family and they have been very generous.  We also received more boxes from Paul Hester and the Shiloh church of Christ.  Thanks to everyone for a great and very blessed Christmas.  The kids were very excited.

Christmas Blessings

This little sweetheart turned three yrs.old this month. She can't walk, talk, or use her hands, but she will give you the biggest smile you have ever seen.  She has the biggest smile when Lee sings to her.

We received several boxes of Christmas goodies this week from the Robert Darby family, the Steven Reeves family, and Dean & Becky Lightfoot.  Dean & Becky have been a great help to the Marshallese people from the beginning of our mission.  We received several boxes from the Paul Hester family and the Shiloh church of Christ.
It has been Paul Hester and his families love for the Lord and their dedication to spreading the gospel to the Marshallese people that has kept this mission going. They helped start this mission in the first place. Paul has spent many, many thousands of his own dollars to come to the islands at least once a year to work on the church house or building and to hold gospel meetings.  Anything we need, they are there for us. Thank you & God Bless you for all your support to the mission on Ebeye & Gugeegue.
