Beach and latest thoughts



My last post of the day will be about the beach. Isaac Laura Danielle and I went to the beach on saturday after a long week in service and it was sooo nice! check out the pics!

Hello Beach!
Dont you want to come!?!?!

I love this pic of the 4 of us....just hanging out at the beach...
We have made a couple videos about our life here on the island so far....not to exciting but i'll post them anyways.


Corn Island

Here we are ready to board the boxy plane to Corn Island! It was a beautiful flight because you fly low enough to see the landscape. This was our ticket...so offical looking
Our boxy plane that kind of reminded me of a bus with wings
The water is so clear and blue and really warm!



The day after we got there we did service/look for a house around the island. Just a normal view in service...we had NO idea that we could live here... at the kingdom hall

This is the brand new Kingdom hall on the island. This is the side that faces the street. the little window on the left is our bathroom window. It took 5 months and they only had 12 brothers from a construction group from the branch to finish it. EVERYTHING was done by hand.





This is the back side of the hall the meetings are held in the middle part and the window on the right is our kitchen window.






It looks like its in a jungle.....this is the view we wake up to every morningThe literature counter in our kitchenKitchenBedroomTableBathroomHere are some service pics from the past 2 weeks

THANK GOODNESS I brought my little wellies!! I have worn them tons for service and working around the hall!It been really wet here and the roads get super muddyIsaac preaching along the beach
The wonderful Isaac and Laura, they are the special pioneer couple that live on the other side of the Kingdom Hall and have lived on corn island for 3 1/2 years. Yeah they are pretty much amazing.little naked kid outside his house right on the water

Hey everyone here are some pictures finally! The first ones are from the branch. This was our welcome in our rooms.This is a fleshly brother and sister we met that are at bethel. David and Nadia. They are both in a sign language hall and in the translation dept. but Nadia is being reassigned as a special pioneer next month.
