Pumpkin patch

Here were are at Aloun Farms. This quarter the students have been reading all kinds of pumpkin books and writing about how they grow and change. So now its time for them to see the pumpkins for themselves!

It was very educational. Have you ever seen a white pumpkin? Now you have! They also grow a variety of other vegetables.








Each person gets to pick a pumpkin and take it home!

As long as you can carry it! LOL!

in the Zone

Since Hawaii is now with the U.S. Branch, we didn't get our own Zone Visit like we usually do, rather we were tied in with NY and we had a limited number of tickets.

These tickets were non-transferable tickets given to exemplary long-time Christians. My Mom although she's been in the truth from the 70's, didn't get a ticket because in her congregation there were many more brothers and sister in the truth longer than her.

In my Chuukese congregation, our newest publisher, Niwine got invited because we have a smaller publisher count, even though we also have a lot of long-timers.

The talks were tied in from Patterson, prerecorded.



We sat in back of the sign language group.

It was exciting to see NY on the big screen in real time.
