Bye Bye Ebeye Goodbye

Our time in Ebeye has been truly encouraging! It was so much fun getting to know the construction team and the brothers and sisters, but it also felt great to get our hands dirty by working so hard. Here are some pictures of the last couple weeks. The last week we spent tearing down the Barracks where everyone lived that took about a month to build but amazingly only four days to take down. These last 2 months have been full of fun and good times. Now we are off to the island of Kosrea which is one of the most beautiful islands of Micronesia, to do some maintenance on the Kingdom Hall and Missionary home.

Taking down the trusses from the barracks which resulted in Shem, Allen P. and Levi have races back and forth. Crazy


Work hard together =)


This was Lunch time on Friday. Everyone had been working so so hard to take down the Barracks that this was what was needed at lunch to keep us going.

All walls are down, now lets have a little fun!



The crew of amazing brothers and sisters :)


Packing all construction stuff and making room for the Missionary's

No more truck means all things are carried down the road when moving.

Well our time in Ebeye was short but sweet, but it was filled with so many fun and amazing times. Thanks to all of you in Ebeye that made us feel so loved and encouraged.

Things in Ebeye have really been changing. This last week Jake and Amy Felby left for Guam to start with project in Guam  and this coming Tuesday 3 more leave for Guam. Most of those here with the construction group have been here in Ebeye since October of last year. So it is know doubt hard to leave they will be dearly missed by the friends here the impression and memories will truly be treasured.
This past week we had a encouraging visit from the construction desk overseer from Guam(Jared Fruciano) and also the construction zone overseer from Australia(Lindsey and Iris Gill) . On Friday morning we enjoyed a bible talk entitled "Be Like Nehemiah", very encouraging.  Also we enjoyed hearing experiences from other construction groups around the world, and then enjoyed a slide show of pictures of the different places Lindsey and Iris travel to check on the work. Some of the places were: India, Solomons, PNG, Indonesia, Fiji and I think there was a couple more but that is what I can remember :). It was really really encouraging!
