Our Time in Vanuatu

  It was a rainy busy week.   Grand-papa had interviews to conduct every day.  It is nice to be around the missionaries at the office.  Sometimes there is a lot of traffic. It can be quite tempting to follow the invitation of signs off the road. But soon after, I saw what the hold up was.  A police officer was stopping the many buses for a verification of drivers license. We had some strong winds pushing the light down  We are thankful for the sunshine through it all as we spoke with grandsons for their birthday Pictures of first day of school and cuteness came to brighten our days also. The light was not the only thing that came down this week. Our brave Jaden reassured us with one of his beautiful smiles.  He is still so  handsome and we are very happy he is okay! Emma learning the ropes and experiencing the bumps and cuts that sometimes come with them. Thankfully all is well. We experience a lot of bumps on the road or enticing invitations to leave the road that will take us away fr

  Welkam lo Vanuatu evriwan We are not sitting in front of a picture.  This is the real deal.   We had a lovely dinner with Doctor Matt Cornish and his wife Vicky who have been living in Vanuatu with their children for a year.  We are so thankful for the many blessings they have provided to the people, the missionaries and to us.  It is all part of the Lord's plan.  We all enjoy serving  Him here.

The garbage truck.  We buy the quite expensive yellow bags for the garbage and I was told they use a proceed of the price of these bags to pay the garbag

Life in Vanuatu On our way to district council last Tuesday, the road was closed and we had to find another way.  This is good because we got to see another corner of the island. with beautiful views and trees Following Google map we can see street names but there are no street signs. But wait... some street signs! It's a good thing we had Google map for the names.  We could not get them from the signs. District council with the Ohlen District.  We love to attend these district councils.   Here are some leaning trees of Mele. We went to Mele to visit a new house where the missionaries could stay. We went with the three elders who will stay there.  It was a little tight at the back of the truck.  It's a good thing it was not too far. Elder Nikolao from Samoa,  Elder Okka from Myanmar,   Elder Teriitaohia from French Polenysia   As we drove back, it was time for students to return home. This is how Vanuatu repairs the many potholes.  It is not permanent though.  After the next bi
