The Spirit of Elijah broods over Micronesia




Perhaps its the upcoming Barrigada Ward Temple trip, but it seems like we have been extra busy these last two weeks meeting requests for help with family history.  On Tuesday, July 8 Grant began a Genealogy merit badge class for the Barrigada Scouts.  They were great!!


Thursday night the newly renovated Barrigada Stake Family History Center was busy with folks from the Philippines, Chuuk and Kosrae.


Last Saturday Grant met and worked with Bedrikdrik Henry, our faithful High Priest Group leader, to start his Marshallese family history.


That evening we drove to a nearby beach and enjoyed the July Supermoon.


Monday Grace Christman came by for some help with her Chamorro family history.  She gave a fabulous Relief Society lesson today on the Sealing Power and Temple Blessings.


Our two wonderful Youth Family History Consultants


The Barrigada Youth enjoyed a pizza party on Tuesday night to celebrate their victory in the Stake Indexing Competition.


Sister Susan Sam and Dorothy Siren, originally from Chuuk,  are two of our great Barrigada Ward family history consultants.


Sepe Charley from Kosrae has been finding family records on Family Search.

We enjoyed the semi-annual senior couples' conference this week.  We were inspired by the tremendous sacrifices these people make and great work they do throughout Micronesia.  We love these outstanding senior missionaries and leaders serving on the islands of Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk Yap, Palau and Guam.
