Special Days

The green color on the tables represents life.  The ladder we must climb together.

We began as two                                                As we look to heaven above

But joined and united in love                             We travel the rocky road with Love

Thee lift me and I lift thee                                  Thee lift me and I lift Thee

And we'll ascend together                                   And we'll ascend together

The medallion represents putting on the whole armor of God.

On the second day we met at the park and games of volley ball, musical chairs, a version of baseball, sack races and badminton were played.  Even  a little karaoke was enjoyed.

Looking out the door at the Bairiki Chapel

 And watching the sunset together.

 Below the tide is out, as birds walk the shoreline.

Left is an electrical cable that powers the Moroni Campus. They may have a problem when they try to bury it. But then again the road is coming and everything will be dug up anyway.

The last of the Coconut trees that lined the road outside the Moroni Campus have been removed, as they give way to the new road that is creeping across the island.

Building small houses in the shop.

               Finishing up the chicken apartment complex by the agriculture students. Still no chickens.

Battle with the Sea

and attacks the sea wall

Push Back

The effect of the ocean at high tide causes many problems with the roads on South Tarawa. 

Repairs to the causeway and the road are a constant need.

The picture below show the road at high tide on the east end of the Island. 

The pictures above show the more rural part of South Tarawa.

How do you get the students to a school activity? Put a few students in a pickup truck.

Good friends, Elder and Sister Wall reached the end of their Mission to Kiribati. We wish them good fortune as they return to their family and friends.
