Since Last Zone Conference


This is the young people in the Mwan branch. The church did a humanitarian project for the Chuuk schools. They put together backpacks for the students, first grade to Jr. High. The young men/young women put the packs together the night before,


with some missionary help, then..


Loaded them up ready to deliver



Loaded and ready to go... the backpacks are there under the missionary's, I promise


The rewarding part was handing them out at the schools.


I thought it would be fun to show you some of the english words the children are learning.


Are they cute or what...they didn't really understand what was happening when we handed them their packs, they didn't understand our English, but it didn't take them long to catch on.


The church provided over 500 backpacks filled with school items for children in Mwan, from 1st grade to Jr. High age. The following days we had many mothers of the children come up to us in restaurants and on the streets thanking us for what we had done for the children. What a great feeling.

Hello to my two favorite missionaries, besides Kip of course. Its fun to see what you have been up to. My mom was telling me that your mission has been extended crazy!

New Chapels, New Boats, lots of Elders and Sisters, it looks like the Lord's vineyard is really growing and strengthening in that part of Micronesia. Did some say the mission was expanding?
