Youth challenge - Reef shelf walks - Friends - Missionaries - Halloween - Day of the Dead



Dededo Ward Young Women working on the Youth Challenge - to find and take the name of at least one ancestor to the temple.


Great youth family history consultant helping the young women. 


Ubiquitous -  blue linckialaevigata - star fish.



Jeanette with friends Susan Alik (from Marshall Islands) and Rose Laanan (Guam) 


Mangolia Dun - from Burma via New Jersey, serving in U.S. Navy and on her way to Virginia. 


Tidal pool 


Sea urchins or tuitui - very sharp and barbed as Grant found out - islanders crack them open and eat raw insides. 


Gorgeous clam hiding on the reef flat. 




Grant at "Lost Pond" - a fresh water pool about 50 yards from the beach. 


Near Taguisson Beach on the west of Guam. 


Elders Murdoch and Malais in from Palau for some leadership training and family history. 


Also, in from Palau were Sisters Purcell and Talakai .



Barrigada Guam Ward Halloween Party starting with pie eating contest and musical chairs - followed by a chili cook off.  


Sunday was "Day of the Dead" a sort of Catholic event where people remember their dead.  Primarily they picnic on the graves - we have a better way!
