"This was one of the best Sabbaths I've ever had!" exclaimed Caleb when we were reflecting on our visit to Guam. I can't think of a better review than that. Friday evening we spent at Roger and Amy's home and then headed off to their home church, a new church plant of local Guam residents and Chuukese residents called the "Happy Family" church. And they were indeed one happy family! They meet under large tarps but still with A/V and Powerpoint support to make voices audible and the flow of the service consistent. Young people led out and when Sabbath School classes broke out - there was one in English, one in Chamorro, one in Chuukese and a variety of children's Sabbath School classes too. Araya's red hair was a fascination and everyone enjoyed hearing Rose, Caleb, Araya and William sing special music. The pot luck meal afterward was full of American and local fare. While Amy took a Chuukese friend home, Roger toured us all on the local beaches full of blue water and white beaches. In the evening, we all headed to a wonderful group party hosted by Dr. Robinson and family. The house was a bee hive of those from the Guam SDA Mission, Clinic and AWR facility. Caleb played outside with those in an active game of soccer and Rose stayed inside with those who were acting out all types of words and phrases. The OB/GYN physician brought the group down with laughter when he acted out his rendition of a women in "stirrups". You can imagine this yourself!
