The Kwajalein military base was generous to host local Ebeye missionaries (and Morgan and I, despite not being missionaries) for a Saturday night in "mini America". They put us all up in the Kwaj lodge, the base hotel, and we were able to take hot showers, relax, make local calls to the US, and stuff our faces with amazing food!
Here are some picture of the trip:
Morgan and I trying to hitch hike to Ebeye, because as usual, our ride didn't show up.
Missing the ferry (no surprise) and taking a water taxis to kwaj.
Once we finally got to the base, the weekend was great. There are actually a LOT of volunteers/missionaries on Ebeye, but you wouldnt know it because we never see each other. Most of the missionaries work at the SDA school. There are a lot of missionaries from the Phillipines, 3 from Germany, and a few from the US and other countries.
This pictures is of Emily, who is an SDA volunteer from North Carolina, and SDA volunteer from Germany, and Morgan.
(above) we all had to get pictures with the map at the kwaj lodge- you would be surprised at how few maps show all of the pacific!

Hi Lizz,
ReplyDeleteI'm Ulysse, I'm a french student, and I'm very interested about the Marshall Islands, so I read your blog with a lot of interest. You're so lucky to be there!! And everything seems to be ok for you, that's great!
I would please ask you one thing about volunteering there: For which institutes work the volunteers and missionaries there? You talk about the DSA school: could you please tell me what is it?
Thank very much for your answers,
and maybe see you in Marshall Island one day!
enjoy!
bye
