Sr Missionaries enjoy picnicing and Snorkeling in Ajeltake |
|
Some interesting Coral |
The Senior missionaries get together and do fun outings on our P Day. We like to go snorkeling and we do maybe every other week or so. This particular Saturday we went to a new little pavillion and beach park in Ajeltake. Actually this and the one in Laura are the only beach parks there are on Majuro so it was fun. We had a Bar B Q and then we went snorkeling. We snorkeled on the lagoon side. There weren't a lot of fish but the coral was beautiful

The reef and fish are beautiful |

The Reef has many kinds of coral |

Some are huge and colorful |
We are trying to open up some new atolls for missionary work. The APs were able to go to Arno, which is pretty close to Majuro to check it out. To get there you ride over on a little boat. Here they are as they go under the Majuro Bridge. The senior missionaries went to watch them and wave as they went under the bridge. They found some members on Arno and even some Priesthood holders. I guess we are trying to get permission from the Iroj of the atoll to open it up for missionary work. We did have missionaries there several years ago, I am told but the missionaries were pulled out because of some of the black magic practices that were going on there. Now, they think it is safe to send them back.

APs on their way to Ar no Elders that went were Elder Swain, Elder Angilau, and Elder Vaaulu |

I am standing on the Majuro Bridge where the Elders just went by on a boat to Ar no . You can see the ocean side and the lagoon side is just to my right |

Laura, is at the end of the atoll. There is more land, wider area and more vegetables and fruits are grown there. |
Sister Barlow invited me to come with her to a RS party in Laura at the beach. We had a picnic with the RS sisters. It was supposed to start at 10 and we got there about 12 knowing it would be Marshallese time. Well, when we got there there were only a few ladies there and the main group had not arrived with the food. Finally they arrived and the cooking started and we ate about 3.
