A sign of the time . . . .

. . . .Of the year.

It's oppressive.

When I was young - the anticipation of summer vacation was an adventure in itself.

For our little family - it brings ambiguity.

Will the kids survive their best friends moving?

Did we make the right decision to extend here a year?

Can we really spend the $$$ on visiting Utah?

Will we get new families in our tiny struggling branch?

It all weighs so heavy!

One YW to be proud of.

David called me from work this afternoon.
He wanted to make sure I had seen the athelete highlight in the PDN (Guam's newspaper)
Click here to see why we were so excited.

Bring the Sunshine Back!

It's a bird!

It's a plane!

No, wait . . . . . it's the 2nd counselor in the Talisay Branch!

I Must Mention . . .

Madison's Honorable Mention at the McCool Science Fair 2008.

Here she is with Logyn (1st in Kinder) and Ryan (3rd in 1st grade)

Who knew we had such smarty pants in the Talisay Branch!

Sunrise Service

Our church met on the beach for breakfast and humidity.

Dave manned the grill where he made scrambled eggs and pancakes.

You simply cannot beat a Guam sunrise.

Happy Easter from the western edge of the Pacific Ocean.

Because I have been given much . . .

A little piece of my heart is breaking.
I have just dropped the Alig girls off with their mom at LAX.

And now I sit blubbering by myself

instead of hearing 5 little voices needing something

or just saying “I love you Sister Lang!”
What a fun few months our family has had getting to know those adorable kids!
It’s been “Plenty Fun!”

I want to hug my own little family right now and tell them “We did good!”

Night Spear Fishing in Merizo

Every so often a member of our tiny little branch family invites the guys to come down to Merizo for a night of spear fishing.

Now we all know David is a little less adventurous - so he just hangs out with Albert's "extended" extended family while the others fish.
David's night of "fishing" included an ukulele concert and pickled pigs feet.
