THE ISLAND OF FONAU

This past weekend we were able to travel to a nearby island. In talking with the local publishers it seems that this particular island has not been worked since 1988. So after making a few arrangements we were able to head out. Unfortunately we were not able to contact the Mayor or the Village Chief. (Soupwul) Yet we decided to head out anyways. Upon coming up to the island there was a debate  of where to go ashore. Finally someone pointed out a nice beach area to land our boat. Amazingly we pulled right up to the Mayor's house who was happy to grant us permission to preach to the local islanders. And yes we found the Village Chief as well, who was also very happy with our visit. The day went very well and everyone was excited that we finally were able to preach on this island. The overall reception was very nice and the locals all enjoyed receiving their copy of the Watchtower!

IN THE JUNGLE

Over the last few weeks we have making trips into the jungle to find interested ones. Our trips have been wonderful, people have been surprised by our visit. We often think how weird it must be for the locals to see Chon Pwechepwech (very white people) coming out of no where trying to speak Chuukese. Non the less we have seen many beautiful sites and found many willing to read the magazines and were grateful for our visit. Now we have to return to follow up.... we will see what happens!
