Off to the Island of Rota

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 missionaries there. Church will be held in the missionaries apartment which is small and very blue but 

“the field is white and ready for harvest.”

 I had to try out the scuba diving on Rota, it was amazing like all the other islands the water was really clear and warm.  

We dove a ship wreck, some caves and the 

Rota Hole, as you can see it was incredible.  

Is this a light from heaven shinning on me or the sun coming through the reef into the cave?.... you be the judge :) 

I loved the island of Rota and it will be a great place to invite others to come unto Christ.
