- The Bikini Mayor passed away. He got into a bad car crash and was paralyzed from the waist down. They medivaced him to the Phillipines and he succumbed to complications. We missed aabout a week of school but I am happy that we were able to involve ourselves in the community.
- Kierten's computer died and it caused a lot of stress (mostly for her). Vista corrupted itself and I packed up all her files onto my hard drive when her family sent a recovery drive. Apparently sending things by priority mail does work here. To packages for Kiersten arrived in 2 and 4 days respectively. She still has some hardware problems. The computer says that she does not have dialup or wireless internet capability. Ethernet however is still good.
- I've been swimming a lot and I played my first basketball game yesterday. It was fun and it's a way to get to know the young men on island.
- Manit (culture) week just passed and there was a Marshallese spelling bee. Our 4th, and 5th Graders won first place out of all the students their grade in Majuro.
