Some of "The First Time..."
The first time I gave a talk in Kosrean. (I don't think the congregation could understand me, but they all had so many nice things to say afterwards)
The first time Anna Belle made dinner for us.
The first time I went to an actual farm to get vegetables.
The first "girls night" at our place.
The first time I grated coconut to make a hair conditioner so my hair can grow long like the locals. Mary was there to make sure I did it right.
The first time I had to evacuate because of a tsunami warning.
This is the house of one of the families in the congregation. Many in the house are surrounding neighbors that needed a high place to evacuate to. Everything turned out ok here in Kosrae.

The new Kingdom Hall
This young boy is often found naked on the kingdom hall sidewalk making a mess. He gets talked to a lot about that, but he has a smile to die for.The two kids on the left are Jaraski and Connie. Jaraski is 3 and has memorized many kingdom songs and the books of the Bible. Their parents are so encouraging and a great example. They often come over to our house and generously share the fruits they've grown.
Yoko is the 5 year old girl on the right. Her mom has been studying on and off for a few years now. Last Sunday we were excited to see Yoko at the meeting, but she was alone...she had walked by herself. She lives about 1 mile north of the kingdom hall.

Back in Kosrae...
Not for construction- the Kingdom hall is all finished. I'm here for the preaching work!
I Left Guam, and there are few stops on other islands before I get to Kosrae. To Our suprize- when the plane stopped in Pohnpei, Anna Belle (my partner) got on and we were assigned to sit right next to each other.
This is our house and welcoming crew! Thanks to everyone who helped get the place ready.
Our house is called the Akiko house. (I think KHCG named it.) It has 3 bedrooms, mangroves in the back and the ocean in the front. We have a breadfruit tree and a couple of tangerine trees in our yard-Yum!
