There will be four distributions on Ebeye and this was the first one. It was held at the gymnasium behind the Wellness Center and when Earth and I arrived, there was a huge line of kids waiting to get in.
Each child had their age written on their hand
and then they sat in groups by age (2-4, 5-9, and 10-14)

It was Ms Florina, Fire's nanny! She's teaching fourth grade at the JEM school now. It was so great to see here and hopefully it won't be the last time while we're here.
Once Ms Florina finished sharing the story of Jesus with the kids, there was a prayer and some songs and then they passed out the gift boxes
For the most part, the kids waited quietly with their boxes but they started to get antsy towards the end- I would have had a hard time waiting that long to open a present!
I tried to tell Ms Florina that Earth didn't need a box but she insisted that he get one
Finally, time to open the boxes!
Katie and her family have been living on Ebeye and acting as the hand and feet of Jesus to the people there for a little more than four years. To learn more about them and their work here, visit their website: ChangingFocusMinistries.org
