News

As of Friday, December 15 I am back in Majuro for Christmas break, meetings, and a visit to the hospital. I only found out yesterday that the site has not been updated to reflect several letters and a memory card I sent. This is frustrating news (to say the least) and I will have a long normal update within the week. For now, I am alright, safe but sick, happy, though missing my island village.

Here are two pictures... The first is of the lagoon side beach outside my traditional pandanus leaf house. The second was taken a few days ago as I practiced "Beat" with a student while walking home after school. Churches all over the islands celebrate Christmas with elaborate programs of original songs and dances. They call the marches and dances "Beat" and I joined in every night for 4-5 hours in the past 2 weeks!

I hope you are well. It is good to read a post from you. I just got home to a card and I think a letter from you. I can't wait to read all you have to write.
take care
