We went to a Christmas display at the shopping center.  It was so cute.  Most of the pictures you see were of animated displays.

 The missionaries held a musical fireside in the Barrigada building.  It went over so well that they were asked to have another one in January.

The missionaries could not get this sister into a font because of her physical limitations so they wheeled and carried her into the ocean and helped her stand long enough to be baptized and then wheeled and carried her back to shore.  She was so happy that she could finally get baptized.

The glow on her face tells it all.

Last week was a Book of Mormon pageant held in Chuuk.  Previously, the Book of Mormon was translated only in selections.  The Book of Mormon is now translated completely in Chuukese and so the mission held a celebration.  There were activities and a pageant.  The celebration was to be held mostly outdoors.  The weather forecast was for 100% chance of rain and wind.  There were people coming from other islands by boat.  President Zarbock asked the missionaries to pray and some were fasting to ask for the weather to be good for the celebration.  That day, before the celebration was about to begin, there was a rainstorm.  It was just enough to cool the ground and there was no more storm through the next day.  Here are just a few pictures of the pageant.

The mission has been holding a 40 day fast.  I'm not sure what the purpose of it was but all the missionaries but the senior couples were assigned a day to fast during that 40 day time.  The missionaries were asked to fast on their assigned day but the senior couples were asked to fast Wed., Thurs. of Fri. before the pageant.  Missionaries were seen grouping together and praying.  God does answer prayers.

We went to the USO for Thanksgiving to help serve the Military and their families.  Everyone got a free Thanksgiving dinner for helping.  All the missionaries on Guam went all or part of the time.  When the second shift of missionaries got there it was almost over so they just ate and helped cleanup.  The army cleaned up in record time.  The USO officials were so amazed at how they all pitched in and got done so quickly.  What an amazing group of missionaries.  We are so blessed to be a part.  I guess those ward activities taught us something.

This is for you Jolene.  My sister Jolene commented that I don't post pictures of myself and that is what she wants to see.  So here you are.

For all you moms that want to see pictures of your missionaries this is November MLC.

These two younguns were baptized in October.

On Columbus Day we went to an ocean baptism.
