Family Day!

We recently had another family day. This time, we went camping at Obyan (pronounced "ob-zun") beach. We had fishing tournaments, great food, fellowship, a worship service and rain.

The first order of business for the kids was to scope out all the tents. From the left: Devan, Trinnie, Libby and Tysha.

When this new tent was taken from the box, we discovered that it came with a latern with a remote control. That's just wrong!

We had an EE tournament for the kids (EE are baby Skipjacks that run inside the reef this time of year). It took Jerome less than ten minutes to win, with six!

Jerome landing another EE and winning the kid's tournament by landing all the fish caught.

Camp Chef Jack grilled up ribs and teriyaki chicken for dinner. The teriyaki sauce was the very best in this galaxy (because I made it, lol).

Happy campers, pictured from the left rear: Esther, Tina, Mia, Merlyn, Trinnie.

Santiago rigging up in preparation for the Mafuti (pronounced "muh-foo-tee") tournament for the adults. Julie won with the largest of only 2 fish caught. Tina came in second place. It was a night tournamant and we failed to get photos of their fish the next morning....d'oh!

It started raining during the night and we had to have our Church service in the rain. I was pushing up part of the tarp, to angle the water away from the folks at its edges.

Graduation!

Kayla recently graduated from elementary school. She carried the flag of Japan when she marched in with her class. Note her beautiful leis.

Random Happenings

Kareoke is very popular in this part of the world and we solved our lack-of-musicians problem by getting a kareoke system. We found a type that uses chips. We got a chip with a lot of gospel songs and the congregation loves it! Here, Kayla and Trinnie lead us in a song.

Joshua is from Nepal and recently taught our Women's Ministry ladies how to make puri (pronounced "poo-lee") bread.

Puli is made with flour and water, rolled out, then fried in oil. Joshua says that it can also be cooked on a stone. It puffs up a little, when fried.
