Translation Home

“If Jehovah wants the house!”………….On all of Majuro we figure there may be six we actually only know of four homes which are of this size 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms and now after the building committee add on, there is office space to accommodate the translation team!  If you recall our home search more than one bedroom is the exception not the rule. The search for living space and office space went mostly unsuccessful for  some time including options to build, not desired because of difficulty finding leased land and high building costs. Then this home was noticed by “word of mouth” in a perfect location with a nearby smaller home thought to be perhaps used for the office space. Negotiations with the smaller home fell to owners lack of cooperation and desire for “high” price. Looking into the larger home proved successful with no doubt Jehovah’s direction behind the scenes.  

It turns out that the owner  was living on Ebeye, a tiny island off the atoll of Kwajalein.  Guess where she lives on Ebeye? (stay tuned for answer)   This large home was built for family use but the family never used the home and it was new and unoccupied! Go angels.  The owner “coincidentally” on Ebeye lives next to the Kingdom Hall and has a very friendly and neighborly relationship with the missionaries living next door.  On contacting her, she proves very interested in renting to the brothers.  The price is very reasonable and she was willing to pay the costs of remodeling for the additional office space!  We will let you know when the neighbor in Ebeye becomes a sister (we hope)!  

The first picture is the front view of the home.  As can be seen the home is in “rural” part of Majuro closest to the Laura congregation.  Picture two is also a front view capturing existing landscaping.  This third picture shows back view including the patio area which was enclosed by cinder block by the building committee (and with a little help from some of us ‘need greaters’ )  Brothers from Guam and Phonpeii came and lived in the home while getting it ready for the translation team.  They have been here two months and are almost finished.  They hope to have the office running by September 1.
