Welcoming Daniel

My (and everyone else at PIU's) friend Kalvin was baptized this past Sunday at Ypao beach by our friend and UOG ministry leader Austin (left). The day couldn't have been more beautiful. We started off in prayer, some worship, and then made our way to the ocean. We even had someone who was not part of our group checking things out and wishing us blessings as we were all together in fellowship. It was awesome to see that there were so many blessings happening around us.

Kalvin took on the spiritual and new name of Daniel, after his grandfather, with this rebirth. He is such a great example for the students and staff in his walk with Christ, and I am blessed to know him and work in ministry together. Congratulations and blessings to you, Daniel- may God bless you, encourage you, and keep you always.

Mexican in Guam?

I went to a Mexican restaurant called Caliente with my friends, two of whom are my students, Friday after chapel. My fish taco was amazing, and they even had Tapatio and a salsa bar. Heaven! By the way, I love these ladies

Conversational English Breakfast

Joyce and I combined our classes today, hers ESL and mine remedial English, for a conversational breakfast.

She made pancakes, rice, and cut up a watermelon and I brought in cookies and eggs and spam. Lisa, our librarian, brought in some drinks (Joyce did, too) and we all got to play games that required us to talk to one another about interesting things about ourselves.

Before we started playing, Lisa read two children's books out loud to promote reading to one another as a good way to practice reading and language skills.

It was really cool to hang with our classes this morning while working on something that they struggle with. Please pray for encouragement with our students so that they won't be afraid to speak up and communicate with us. They are a lot better in this than they think =)

Here's the video...watch the end!

getting out

Two of my students and I took off last week for lunch at the Micronesia Mall. I think these girls are awesome and it's been so cool connecting with them. They are in both of my classes but I look at them as my sisters. I've had an awesome time so far getting to know the girls here so far :)

One cool thing- our birthdays fall in the months of May, June, and July. We'll all be here this summer to celebrate together.

Karabao

My roommate and I were driving back from snorkeling in some bomb holes when we saw this walking down the side of the road. Like my friend Liza says, "things that make you go hmmmm."
