Majuro Connection
David Smith baptised Lucky Lucky from Majuro, Marshall Islands. Lucky's father was the first member of the church on Ebeye. He is related to several of our members. Lucky let Paul know when he was here that he wanted to be baptised. David is the preacher of the church in Majuro and has been studying with Lucky. God is GOOD!

Plan B
A*Taxi* in the Marshall Islands is the back of a small dual cab pick up. We have church members from Ebeye and Gugeegue. The islands are about five miles apart, but the road is so rough, it takes 30-45 minutes to ride from one island to the other. It is always in the middle 80's, so you never get cold when it rains.
Thank you to Damon & Gina Blankinship and the Bitburg, Germany, Church of Christ for cash to help pay for taxi's for our members to get to church. God's Blessings on you all.
You must have a plan *A, B & C* when you worship in the Marshall Islands. The classrooms we are using for kids Bible class & worship were opened late. Lee went to plan *B* and lead the kids songs outside the classroom.
Yolonda taught the kids under a tree in the court yard and has filled in the past couple weeks when plan *A* did not work out. We have great teachers who are always ready to teach the kids about God.

2012 Marshallese Mission
The Angels were rejoicing when two more brothers were baptised.
Peterson was blessed to baptise both brothers.
Paul and Dan built a computer room at the church building for our teachers to use to prepare lessons to teach our children's Bible classes.
They also built a storage closet to put our teaching materials in that have been collected at my house for the last four years. This will allow our teachers to learn so much more by working up their own lessons.
Thank you Paul and Dan for doing so much work at the church building and most of all for your willingness to share God's word at any time with everyone.
God bless you both for making the 2012 Mission so successful.

Rejoice!
The Angels are rejoicing with two more brothers in Christ. Bundy confessed Christ and was baptised for the remission of his sins.
Ron was also baptised. Ron is the son of Peterson, who alternately preaches every other week in Marshallese to his people.
Both brothers shared their desire to preach God's word. We pray that God will guide them both through out their lives and their walk with Jesus to heaven.

To God's Glory
Paul Hester delivered our sermon Thursday night. Paul always does a good job on everything he does.
We are showing a movie before the sermons that follows the scriptures from Matthew. It is a good tool to pull the kids in. They are little sponges.
Dan did a great job delivering the sermon last night.
Lee & I ride the ferry to Ebeye each night to church. The Marshallese workers ride the ferry back and forth to work on Kwaj every day. We stick out among the boat load of workers. There was a worker who was drunk that talked to us on Wed. night. On Thurs night he was drunk again but was looking for a way out of alcoholism. He was sober last night and we gave him a Marshallese Bible. Peterson is going to help him find his way from alcohol to God's word. To God be the glory! It is amazing how many doors HE will open .
