A Few Pics from January & February

Sharing fun and food with friends at the church picnic ...
(While we are living in Port Vila, we are alternating our time at the English speaking International church, and the local Bislama speaking churches.)


The kids are always finding fun things to play with...


Beside the shark pool...
(But, what if someone falls in? Well, someone actually did! The sharks left him alone, he climbed out of the pool with all limbs intact. Evidently they are pretty well fed, and not dangerous.)


We got to pet the sea turtles too...




We aren't really able to have a dog, so we got the next best pet...
nakato (a.k.a. hermit crabs)

For the first day they were a lot of fun. Now all they ever do is sleep so we are going to take them back to the beach the first chance we get.


Vanessa is a friend that comes once a week to help us with our Bislama learning. We ask lots of questions, play games, and just visit. Here Vanessa is helping Gracie on a long held goal of hers... to translate children's stories. Gracie, translated a story (this time it was "Where the Wild Things Are") and now she and Vanessa are going through the first draft.




Josh with a couple of his new friends...


We will try to take lots more pictures this month so you can look forward to more. =)
