The Webbs and us took a ferry out to a Erakor Island on Sunday. I'm amazed at how clear the water is and could easily see starfish along the dock leading to the island. There's a resort there now with a groomed path all around the island. As we walked along the path, we came upon the grave markers below. I was hoping you'd be able to read the writing on the gravestones but the one on the right is for the wife of a missionary and her death was in the late 1800s. Her dying words were something like, "I know that Jesus is mine." The left gravestone marks the deaths of 3 of her children who all died between their first and second birthdays. I stood for awhile there just thinking about all the trials and sacrifices that this family went through but what a great testimony to say that she was still trusting in Jesus through it all.
