Joining the North!

I'm Back!


So as I last posted, I'm back in Guam. Things have kind of settled down, and for a little while the craziness has subsided haha. A couple weeks ago I moved in with a brother and began to attend the North Guam congregation. I had visited this congregation my second week here with Mark and Jackie, so it was so good to see all the familiar faces. They warmly welcomed me into their congregation, and I was very happy to do so.

Now that I'm stationed in one congregation, I feel like I'm able to do more when it comes to cultivating interest. Being in a different congregation every week is amazing and you learn so much, but you're not really able to develope calls or bible studies. So joining this congregation has been a great blessing for me, not only because it's a great congregation, but also because I feel more helpful in the territory and congregation.


The kids I study with and their mom
So far I am having a great time here in the North. Field service has been great! I have been able to make some calls on people I've met in the territory, and many of the sisters are helping me out by turning over their male calls and studies to me. One sister brought me to study with her study's son. When I got there I realized that her study had 5 children. When I began the study with the oldest son, all of the other children came to join us. So now I'll be studying with all 5 children at once! haha. It's really cool. They're all really good kids.

I've also been having a great time with all of the friends here, going to the beach, movies, mall, BBQ's and other fun things. They all are fun to be around, and I'm laughing all the time haha.

As you may have heard I decided to extend my stay here in Micronesia. My return flight was supposed to be July 27th. I've decided to stay here a few months longer, untill the end of October. To all the friends back home I miss you all so much, and I look forward to coming home and seeing you all when I get back. But for now I want to do as much as I can and enjoy serving where the need is greater :)


North Territory
So now as I join the North, another chapter of this adventure begins. I'm excited to be here and help out in any way possible. I'm looking forward to being with the friends here and enjoying their association in the field.








crazy eyes haha
