http://medicinmajuro.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
There Is No Land Atoll. Monday, June 28, 2010. As great as the South Pacific is, it's all about the people. The Liveighs provided all the food for the 3 1/2 day Young Single Adult Conference. I was able to be there for some of the conference when the night before Laurie and Gary invited me to teach a class on Healthy Living - bless them for giving me the opportunity to get to know these Marshallese YSA's! On the beach at Mile 17 Park, Jojo and I spy a challenge and an adventure! Wednesday June 23 we had ...

There Is No Land Atoll. Thursday, March 24, 2011. A day of celebration when Yvonne sent a new camera and some of her favorite treats with it - this calls for a branch of meria! Elder Steele and Elder Kalua'u in front of the mission office at Lojkar, Long Island, Majuro MH 96960. I wanted to remember my great District Leader, Elder Steele - he is also training Elder Kalua'u and is doing a bang-up job. Below, the Ajeltake Primary president with Laurie and the Stake Primary President with me, surrounding th...

There Is No Land Atoll. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Coming up to Christmas in the Marshall Islands. We had great food and had invited some non-members and new members of the church to join us. The Hewstones joined us as we watched the Church's short Nativity spot with "Breath of Heaven" by Amy Grant playing behind it. Amazing! My first presents under my Christmas tree! Now all 10 grandchildren are on my refrigerator. And I can see them everyday! The fourh week of Advent! Some of us enjoying the last.

There Is No Land Atoll: December 2010
http://medicinmajuro.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
There Is No Land Atoll. Friday, December 24, 2010. It's always about the people. Pres Shaw is obviously rooting for the Blue - Elder Taylor is a Ute fan and Elder Pritchard is a BYU football player. The rivalry made me feel right at home, except that there was no serious attention paid to who won and who lost. I like it on a mission when in the Lord's game plan everybody can win. December 1, 2010 - Zone Conference! Christ, and often that is ourselves. December 4th we had a Primary party behind the Marsha...

http://medicinmajuro.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
There Is No Land Atoll. Sunday, July 18, 2010. July 12-16, 2010 - Remember! The day before the 14th Annual Mayors' Conference, Sister Tibon asked Akamra and Samson and I to perform the musical number. We practiced Sunday night in this beautiful conference center - that's our little keyboard off to the far right off the platform. The kids had two handheld microphones and sang just to the right of the head table on the platform. Akamra and Sampson sang right before the keynote address to the Council of May...

There Is No Land Atoll. Thursday, February 18, 2010. All Baptisms are very precious, as was this one. We arrived after a 40 minute drive at the couple's home in Laura, just as ward members were arriving (Elder Gilbert). The couple's home is right by the lagoon at the highest point on the Majuro atoll (Elder Haddock). Our president came and said to start snapping pictures, as many as we could, just not during the baptism itself. Here are the events as they unfolded, in silence as we experienced them.
