Hello! We have found ourselves back and school and very busy the last few weeks as we have gotten back into the swing of things. We have started our next scuba diving certification and got to have a lot of fun driving underwater scooters the other day! We found a turtle that usually just swims away, but on our scooters we could keep up with it so we were able to stay pretty close to it and that was really neat! School is off to a good start as we are on day 4 with students! It feels like a long weekend since last school year and it is different to have new students but very exciting. So far things are going well and we are both enjoying our students and classes so far. In a couple of weeks we are starting up youth fellowship and we are certainly excited about that and could always use prayer for the year. We are also excited for the first Husker game coming up this weekend and we really hope it is on TV out here! Not to much else to report just getting school running smoothly at this point and hoping that everyone is doing well!

 

Back on Kwaj

We have been back on the island for a little under 2 weeks now and time is already flying as we started our first day back at work!  Hard to believe the school year is starting up again, but ready or not the school year is beginning!  The last two weeks have found us getting over jet lag, getting our rooms set up both at home and in our classrooms again and readjusting to island life.  Readjustments included new bike chain and repairs, cleaning and other fun things like that!  We had lots of people welcome us back to the island and that has been really nice!  

Here is a picture out our balcony at the hotel in Hawaii.  The taxi ride to the hotel was an adventure but the view was great and eating at Roy's was as good as advertised!  Definitely the best restaurant we will go to for a long, long time!  

Here we are going over to Ebeye for the afternoon to give some new teachers a tour.  They got new ferry boats, which are fast and nice!  

The kids on Ebeye always love posing for a picture!  

Some floats waiting for us to lounge in off emon beach! We have had more rain in the 2 weeks we have been here than Nebraska has seen all year probably, but this was a nice day for some relaxing on the beach!

Green sea turtle swam around Matt a few times while he was snorkeling

Hung out with an octopus during a dive off the beach one afternoon!

We miss everyone back home a lot and were so thankful for all of the fun times we had with everyone back home!  We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying what sounds like some cooler weather in Nebraska!

A Year In Review

Almost one year ago today we started our new journey on Kwajalein. As we are once again having our last night in the states before returning we thought we would post some of our favorite pictures from the last year! We also thought we would share a few from our summer at home with our family and friends!

There you have it the pictures that show us why we are returning for another year! We look forward to see what the Lord has in store for us this year and being able to share it with you guys!
