From this point on we are splitting our time between Guam and Kosrae. Its a crazy way to end our mission but it has sure kept us from getting trunky. We haven't had time!!
On June 2 we left, with Elder Blackwell for Guam. Sister Nena made his this beautiful lei. He has been a great missionary.
Back on Guam we met up with Keiji Sugimoto and Jun who went right to work setting up the FamilySearch camera at MARC to photograph the Jane H. Underwood Guam Population Cards. Ralph has been hired to do the job. The cards are a great source of Chamorro genealogy.
We had a fun opportunity to meet with the Talisay YW for a "Meet my Grandpa" night (in anticipation of Father's Day). We had a great time sharing stories about ancestors and we helped one young woman find the names of her grandparents using Pohnpei records online at FamilySearch.
Jim and Rose Marie Cruz took us out to lunch at Mescla and we tried Manahak, fried juvenile rabbit fish, a seasonal Chamorro specialty. They are harvested on the beach by the bucketful and then fried until crisp. Not bad.
On the way home from Merizo one Thursday evening we stopped to enjoy another beautiful sunset at Umatc . We are going to miss the skies of Micronesia!
Susana Sam and James Gogue check out the FamilySearch website at the Micronesia Island Fair FamillySearch booth. The Fair ran from Friday, June 12 through Sunday, June 14.
June, Jeanette and Keiji Sugimoto in front of our booth. Note Jamiliz Remarii being herself in the background and the cool banners that Tokyo made for us.
Here Jamieliz helps a visitor from Palau. The booth was a great way to introduce people to the FamilySearch website and the Barrigada Family History Center
Another great consultant, Krisitan Dana, helps out at the booth.
We enjoyed a lovely Chinese dinner on Sunday evening with Julie and Richard Fee and the Martins. Its so sad to be leaving all these wonderful people! We flew to Kosrae the next day.
