POHNPEI

We had a wonderful time visiting Grandma and Grandpa Kjar on their mission in Ponhnpei, Micronesia. This is us at the airport.

We visited some old WWII Japanese guns.

A home in the jungle.

Matt said these trees reminded him of the movie, Avatar.

We went on a hike to this water fall. It was fun and we came home really muddy because it rains so much there. We had great weather on the trip though. We were really lucky.

Jackson with Grandpa's machete. Everyone has them around there.

A view of the airport from one of our hikes. (They recently added to that run way)

On our hike with the LeFevre's and Janice (a good friend and lawyer from the US that is working there)

Spencer and Grandma enjoying some coconut water that some members gave us.

Grandma teaching the "Boot Scootin' Boogie" to the Institute/Seminary students at a branch. Notice that this chapel is "open" and it has a dirt floor.

Teaching the dance to some more students at another branch.

Spencer with a really cool starfixh. CAn you believe how blue it is?

Jackson holding a jelly fish which is probably dumb, but he did it after Grandpa Kjar and he seemed ok. Jackson did get stung though and needed some ice on his hand.

Family Home Evening with some members of the Kolonia Branch.

We are on a hike to Nan Madol. Some ancient ruins of a people that lived in 500 A.D.

We called this the tree of Life. The water isn't very deep because of the coral reef that surounds the island.

Jackson diving at a waterfall. We had such a marvelous trip and it was the chance of a lifetime to go be both tourists and missionaries. We loved spending our time with Grandma and Grandpa. They are awesome missionaries and they truly love the people. The Pohnpeians are so nice and generous. We loved getting to know them and their culture.
