For family night we decided to be tourist and went to an island beach show Toatoa Tasi with the Schiele’s.  We loved it!   Dancing Chamorro Warriors, fire dancers and more.  The performers were amazing and they wore gorgeous costumes.  It was set on the beach,  the food was really good and that sunset!!! It was a fun family night.      _________________________________________________________ MLC was this week so we stayed late to meet with the missionaries and go over their gas logs and checkbooks. Elder Van likes this because he gets to find how they’re doing and what’s going on in the islands. It’s a great way to connect and it’s like a party they all catch up  with each other and share stories. ___________________________________________________________________________ Elder Bryant and Elder Christensen  The missionaries on Yap had a very amazing experience going to one ...

I flew to Rota to open up a new area with the missionaries. It started with getting them new bikes and accessories on Guam since resources are limited on the small island.  We worked together to get them in their new apartment, food on their shelves and needed supplies. It was really great to help with this new venture and I met some really nice people! I went with Elder Kallas who was there about a month ago to check it out.  Elder Duncan and Elder Deyro were very excited and maybe a little nervous about opening this ares.  Rota is 47 miles north of Guam it is 12 miles long and 4 miles wide.  The governor of Rota has two men who manicure the main road as a full-time job. They cut the grass, trim the plants and pick up any garbage on the ground. It’s a clean, quaint little island with about 3000 people. You can only get there on a nine passenger plane from Guam or Saipan.  There are only a handful of member and they are so happy to have the m...
