JAMBO JAMBO AT THE BARRETTS’

To our beloved who may wonder “I’ll bet Vince has been taking pictures and updating the blog and has decided how many pictures can a guy take when the shore line is 50 yards apart and 30miles long”---You are right! So here are a few anyway—when in truth we are overwhelmed by there is an awful lot to do in trying to teach an old guy “ewi wawen ej ba kajin majol”… I have never faced anything more frustrating in my life , plus service ,meetings, you know the life saving routine…continuing… there is also no espn(there is none)we are still reduced to occasional tv sent on cd—which has somehow lost its pull, an  ”atol” sized computer lap top screen with no sports—baseball never counts unless you are pitching or gimping to second base .

What you see may look like fun,,It was!  courtesy  of the “happy God” and a little going away party for a couple from Guam, here for a month plus, to work on the Translation home. They too are need greaters originally from Idaho. This is the homestead in the background hosted still as only “Lynn from Brooklyn or is that long island , no we all know home is where the “truth” came into the picture—that would be MONTANA!  The only down side was I travelled halfway across the world, hidden on a tiny spec of an atoll (a word I never would have defined in trivia pursuit) and guess who gets stuck organizing a few “games”….THE MAN WITH A PE DEGREE… funny , no one has asked about my degree or for that matter even if i graduated from high school.

Anyway enjoy the dances…they were way better live as well as with some local music and audience participation songs…and in English Lynn organized a chorus of the beautiful people to sing two of the new Kingdom songs as a goodbye (one being the song of dedication…and since we ,Micronesia, still have the old song book  and have not heard the new songs, there were a few tears in the crowd… not those of us with a degree. ……The brother in the last row just couldn't stay seated ! His hips didn't move quite like the sisters’ , also lost in the still photos.
