Vince and Lynn: OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES

This is a young girl named Eugene. (Eta in Eugene) Eugene is always smiling. We met Eugene along with many young ones in the Laura congregation right away. The young ones although shy are very welcoming in introducing themselves and always available to correct our Marshallese! Most take English in school. It wasn’t until several weeks maybe months when we realized Eugene did not have her parents at meetings. Her older cousins, Brenda and Sally Ann always had invited her to join them at meetings. She would come with that smile on her face and ready to comment. She started studying with one of the teenagers, Crystal. Her family was planning to send her to the states to her relatives with an opportunity to have a better education. She refused saying that she feels she would rather serve Jehovah in Majuro. Her parents allowed her to stay and because of her decision and her interest in the truth her mom began to study. Eugene recently became an unbaptized publisher, her mom from her bible study has been legally married and stopped smoking and desires to be a publisher, and now dad has begun to study! Eugene found this baby bird fallen from a tree and has wrapped it in a breadfruit leaf. I think you would agree, Jehovah would be pleased, it is in good hands! Korata takes a break during field service during the Memorial invitation campaign and sits on a renowned Marshallese canoe. The Marshallese are credited with this style canoe. This one is a small one. They are 2 to 5 times bigger but the same style. They can be powered by oarsmen or a sail. The sail post can be seen on the left. Wood is all hand carved and they are still made locally. When mariners first saw the canoes they were amazed (and are still impressed) by their speed and maneuverability.
