That's All Folks!

This week the Young Women learned to make freezer jam ...... and

the Relief Society sisters learned  to make bathroom towel hanger do-dads.

This journey began with HOPE shining brightly, like Adam Patterson's shoes,..

and ending well worn, sometimes held together with little more than dental floss.

We're TIRED to the bone.... but abundantly blessed for having made the journey!  And, as we said, That's all folks!  THE END...............

Birthdays, Parties and Friends

Thursday was Nabila "Nabi" Stapleton's birthday.  She likes chocolate cake.  Thursday was also.....

..... Shani Gohagan's birthday.  She doesn't like chocolate cake!  But she does like to cook!  She spent the entire day in the kitchen preparing dinner for the missionaries and a few friends.  She and Jason fixed more "to-go" trays than we could count.  By the time we went home at 9:00 p.m. there was little left of all her MANY dishes.  Our contribution was a tossed salad, garlic bread sticks and the vanilla-coconut-cream cake, which was still in the fridge when we left. 

 

 

Elder Haupeakui entertained Nigel and Kaisso until the night was over.

Elmira Veronica Furlonge agreed to have her picture taken after she changed from her dead husband's shirt to a nice white night-gown.  Sister Furlonge lost both legs as result of diabetes and spends most of her time right here in bed. 

This certainly is neither party nor friend.  (We just threw it in to see if you are paying attention.)  In fact, it's one of the things we'll be glad to leave behind!.....Wet sludge running down the backyard makes it difficult and impossible to hang clothes outside to dry.

JNF Hospital Paint Project 'n Other Stuff

From the first roller of paint

Branch "talent night,"

E-mail Wednesdays....... and the bikes tell their own story!

 

 

 

 

It's a Jungle Out There

She is one of these 'Monkey People' left of the cute lil black monkey on the back row. Below is petite and quiet little Winnie Chou as the ELEPHANT!

And outside in the real jungle, this is what was going on!....................... Maybe some little turtles in the future?

Monday FINALLY came, and with it President Alvarado, Elder Matauatia, 

 hugs, smiles and ..............

JOY to thelittle blue house that Elder Haupeakui and Brother Hypolite call home in St. Kitts.

Monday evening Jorge Alvardo, president of the Puerto Rico San Juan Mission, set Reginald Jerry Hypolite apart as a missionary in the Ohio Cleveland Mission.  In the meantime, while he awaits his American visa he will serve on the island of St. Kitts, enjoying some of the perks available to those willing to work hard in the Lord's service! 

 

His missionary ID obviously means a great deal!

Elder Haupeakui, Elder Matauatia and ELDER Hypolite!

October Conference & Missionaries for St. Kitts

Both October Conference days were happy days. Saturday's attendance differed somewhat from Sunday but not significantly.  Below are those attending the 'English' session in the Relief Society Room Saturday morning.

At 10:00 a.m. Sunday the sum total of the congregation in the chapel was blind Brother Hodge, the Hadlocks and Elicia, who . . . . .

. . . . .  must not have slept well Saturday night.zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Before the Sunday morning session was over this was the 'crowd' in the air-conditioned chapel....... 

and this in the Relief Society Room where ......... 

Miquel Hanley slept peacefully, at least part the day.

Saturday lunch guests at our house between conference sessions,

as well as Sunday.

 The sweet Gonzalez Family are All trying to learn English.  The twins love their new CTR ties!

And October 3rd, OH HAPPY DAY-after-conference!  First arrived Elder Haupeakui.

Later arrived his companion, "Soon-to-be-Elder" Reginald Hypolite.

And when he becomes "Elder Hypolite," there will be four "Elder H" St.  Kitts missionaries,..........including Elder Hanley, that is.
