Over the past couple of months we've enjoyed working with the International Volunteers and International Kingdom Hall Construction Groups. The IV couples came from Bermuda, Illinois, Colorado and Vermont. The KHG brothers are from the various islands in Micronesia and one brother from Georgia (Matt Scibetta). The Guam Branch had a couple of construction projects and so the IV's & KHG's were requested to help complete these projects.

We invited all of the IV's and another couple (Zak & Naomi) that just move to Guam from Chuuk to our place. Dana (from Colorado) made homemade pizza that was mighty tasty.

The weather has been wonderful so we dined on the 3rd floor terrace so that we could enjoy the weather. The terrace was a perfect location for this gathering.

When the IV's came they only came with their luggage. So they've had to borrow cars/trucks for transportation. So how do you get 8 people into a basic truck. See below! :)

All 4 of the sisters are in the cab and the 4 brothers are sitting in basic chairs in the bed of the truck |
