Our First Christmas in the Marshall Islands

 

 

Christmas Eve activites:



 

Earring exchange with the Sister Missionaries

 

Tie exchange with the Elder Missionaries I opened the box with the most uglyest ties 

 

 

 Lights on the Captial Building

 

 

Playing Santa with some kids who were hanging out along the streets with their parents

 

 

Here in Majuro they celebrate Christmas with a activity they call the "Biit".

All the wards and other groups come together to do group dances and sing.  It went on for 12 hours Christmas Day

 



 

They march into the hall singing

All the young women from one ward dancing

All those that wanted to from Rita ward. One of the wards we attend.

 

Our suprise Christmas gift

How many banana can two people eat.

 

 

Getting Ready for the Holidays

 

We wanted to fly home for Christmas but our plane is a little under the water 

We tried to book passage on a boat but it got beached

It looks like we have to  travel to Laura Beach to get our white Christmas

 

 

What is Christmas with out some vistors

Maybe we will have to travel to this inlet for Christmas so Celestia can go snorkeling again

 

Come dine with us at our under water tables

 

After watching this kid we are sure all our little grandkids should not be without a machete

Santa dropped a coconut from his sled while doing his test run the other night
