The Need is Great!

Thank you for your prayers. We're doing great so far. A little overwhelmed with what's ahead. We haven't slowed down for one minute since we've been here. There is so much to do and learn. We are trying to get everything settled with where we are before the school seminary/institute) year starts.
We had a great two days on Guam with the Berretts (a couple assigned to Mission Presidents office). We also had a couple meeting with the CES direct for Micronesia. And when we finally got here, there are dozens more things to do in our assignment that we were told originally. The need is great because the people don't understand much. They are trying but easily fall out of activity. When you see how and where they live, it's no wonder.

The missionaries are doing a remarkable job. There's so much to say
already. We spent today with the zone leaders touring all the branches of the island, meeting many people and seeing where all the missionaries live.
We're supposed to do a surprise visit each month to see if they keep their residents clean.(who thought we'd be doing that?) We're having all of them over next Monday for dinner and a meeting to help us get caught up before we have to return to Guam for a couples conference with the Pres. Not sure how everything will turn out, leaving just before we get a good start.

Dad is doing great. He has caught the spirit of the missionary work
and is very productive. So far he's suffering from the heat and
humidity and wears out early, but is trying really hard to hang in
there.
