Signage of Guam

This post is homage to the very bad signage we see here in Guam each day. As we travel the island and find the Chuukese we come across some very interesting sayings, signs with incorrect spelling and signs that are completely grammatically incorrect. We hope you find them as humorous and horrific as we have. Enjoy:

Grateful or Greatful?

Do I want to enter?

Prowling?

Read very carefully!

Not an actual sign, but a very
interesting front yard ornament.

It is now almost a year from the time we flew to Korea for School for Kingdom Evangelizers. We had some wonderful memories in Korea, but have enjoyed our service here in Guam since our return. Since our return we have had the wonderful privilege to have a number of weeks of substituting. We had a total of 8 weeks and 6 different congregations. The first two weeks were in January and then 6 weeks this past summer. What a wonderful experience to meet so many different brothers and sisters who are striving to maintain their loyalty and continue to endure in their hard work for Jehovah. We visited the Machanao and Central Congregations twice. Following their visits we had a great time with the Dededo and Barrigada Congregations. During September we enjoyed two weeks of training with Jeff and Kayla Head during our visit with the South and North Guam congregations. The support for the field ministry was fantastic during each visit and we enjoyed the weeks we were able to work with them. We will have the opportunity to visit the South Tagalog and Iloko Congregations in January.

More from Korea

Korea was enjoyable in many ways spiritually, but it is also a country with much history. We had some time to explore and enjoy some of its culture, landscape and of course its food! Before we left for our trip we asked everyone who went to Korea what their favorite thing about Korea was and everyone would say: "THE FOOD". We thought there has to more to Korea than its food. There is more than food, but we have to say that food was a big part of their culture and our joy while in the country. 

The cities are very large with museums, parks, and and ancient city artifacts. At first it was very difficult to figure out the public transportation, but once we got used to not finding anything in English we came to appreciate the efficiency of their system both by bus and subway. Taxis were a little expensive, so we mainly stuck to the public transportation. 

We arrived a few days early and stayed a few extra days to enjoy this beautiful country and its people. We hope to return one day and see more of the interesting sites and learn more about its complex culture. 

Many private quaint farms.

Lots of creepy crawlies in Korea.

Korean BBQ, of course.

A little crazy and

delirious.

After our graduation on November 29th we had time to visit and explore Seoul and it's many sights. We also were able to have our class with our friends and family visit our brothers in jail for their neutral stand. These brothers are sentenced to a year and half or longer for their strict stance. After waiting for a few hours we were only allowed to spend about 10 minutes with them. So we had to come up with a few questions to ask and then said a prayer together. I feel we were more encouraged than our brother who we visited. 

We were able to visit our brothers in prison.
Many of us waited hours to spend 10 minutes with them.
