Pictures Taken on December 1, 2014

These pictures were taken as we prepared to depart from Majuro to fly back to the States.

We will miss seeing the ocean blue where the sun rises out the ocean and sets in the ocean.

Our last trip to the airport on Majuro

We were able to fly with these two young Rita Ward members, that we heading to the MTC in Provo, UT,  We had to split up when we got to Hawaii.  But we came love these two young people.

We had mixed feeling on leaving the mission field to seek medical assistance. We loved serving our mission in the Marshall Islands.  We have a soft spot in our hearts for all those we had a chance to rub shoulders with while in the Marshalls and will miss them.

Leray developed this bad rash

He could not stop itching nor get any relief from the itching so he could only get a couple hour of sleep without putting on anti-itch cream.   We went to number of different doctors to try to find some relief.  They said it could be caused by a fungus, then when it did not clear up with using a anti-fungus cream, they treated me for a bacteria, at one point they though I had shingles. He also tried all the home remedies for the itching.   We do know that we bought lots and lots of anti-itch cream. 

It was determined that we needed to go home so Leray could get to a skin specialist and find out what was going on.

 Trip to the Hawaii Temple

These member from the Rita Ward are returning from Hawaii where they were able to attend the temple.

 

We were involved in helping these individuals get ready to attend the temple.  We taught their temple preparation class and help them get their family sheets prepared and assisted them do the work so they could do ordinances for 15 members. One family was able to the work for 4 generations. Two others were sealed to there deceased spouses.

This was such a highlight to our mission to see these individuals come back from the temple and share with us their feelings and experiences with us.

The young lady that attended informed us that she kissed the temple and said that she would be back some day.

We pray that she will be able to go back to the temple soon.
