Me and My Shadow

We get to spend a few days a week with Jeremiah. Out of seven boys, he is the only one not in school yet. We are having such a good time with him. We already know that we'll miss him when he goes to school next year.

Locals

This is a carabao (cara-bow----like take a bow). They are larger than the average cow and have been known to charge at small cars. This one was tied to a very flimsy tree that bent over when he moved closer to choice nibbles. He kept his large eye on me while posing for this photo.

Happy People

As you all know, Eziquiel's oldest girls, Keisha and Karen, have been attending the meetings regularly for a few months. Last Sunday, the whole family (all seven of them), including Joycelyn (Mom), came to the meeting. The first words out of her mouth at the end of the meeting were, "I like it!" We had dinner at our home with a few friends. She called to say thank you for the day when they got home.

Notes from Home

We're back home in Guam! These wonderful notes and drawings were waiting for us on our refrigerator from Keisha and Karen. They attended the meetings while we were away with Mandy and Megan, who picked them up and made sure they were prepared physically and spiritually.
You'll also see a photo in the upper left corner of our fridge. It is a favorite of ours. It's of a close friend of ours in Florida, K.C. He is a spry 94 and has been serving Jehovah since the 1930's. It is a highlight of our day when we have a call or a message on our answering machine from K.C.

And now for something completely different...

First Day of the New Year

We got to spend the first day of September in service with Mom and Dad. It was sunny and beautiful. Of the seven persons we found at home, six showed interest in the message we were sharing. Mom and Dad each took John on some of their return visits. It made such an impact on one lady as none of her children follow the religion that she is now.

Good Friends

What a nice surprise! Stuart drove for hours to see John and share some memories with our family.

Steve and John -- still making each other laugh after all these years.

It was a perfect day!
What a variety of people we met...Hindus, Pagans, born-agains, and one man who told John that even if he had the power to make things better on earth, he wouldn't.

Summer in NH

These photos were all taken in Mom and Dad's yard.
They've always had the prettiest home on the block.
