This is what we have to deal with every time we leave our apartment and head up the road toward the chapel in Ajeltake. (a-gel-talk-ee) The palm trees have just about grown over the road. The road goes down the middle of the atoll, with the ocean on one side about 25 yards away and the lagoon on the other side about 25 yards away. When we are lying in bed at night, if we're not hearing the rain on the tin roof we are hearing the ocean waves coming ashore in back of our apartment. You are never very far from water anywhere on this "island". I put quotes around island because technically it is an atoll, a series of small coral reef islands that surround where an island used to be but has receded back under the ocean and forms the lagoon.
This is a picture of the "building" where Seminary is held. Instead of holding it at the chapel, they decided to hold it here where it is closer to where the students live. Most of them have no transportation and would not attend if held at the chapel. A girl, 20 years old, named Carlynn Benjamin teaches the class. We have attended the class twice this week. You talk about humble and feeling the Spirit!! We both are almost overwhelmed when we come out of this home. You can feel the Spirit here in this Seminary building as strong as anywhere. We are so grateful for the goodness of the Lord to us and our family. We love you. Mom and Dad
You better feel lucky to get this picture. It took 12 minutes to attach. This is a picture of all the missionaries at Zone Conference. This is all missionaries working on the Majuro atoll in seven different branches.
As you can probably guess we finally got the internet hooked up after one week of trying.
