Friends along the way

~ Daisy Ho is leaving Guam this afternoon. She has been the pastor of Guam United Methodist Church, where Cheryl is the 15-hour-per-week secretary, and a good friend. Her new assignment is at Garden Grove United Methodist Church in SoCal. The picture is of Daisy, Cheryl, and me just after the Easter Sunrise Service in April.

~ Also flying out today is Mal Hamill, who leaves for home in Australia this evening. While he has lived on Guam before, this time he has been on island because his wife Linda is the seminary intern at LCG this summer (she's doing a great job!). So while she has been busy preparing sermons and whatever else it is that pastors do :-) Mal has come to PIBC several times to help us with the configuration of the 90 new computers which will eventually be sent to our sites on Chuuk, Yap, and Palau. The good news is that Mal will be back in three weeks after he's been out doing whatever it is that engineer consultants do.

~ The holy remnant of the PIBC/Liebenzel staff remaining on Guam is coming over to our place for potluck supper tonight and our monthly prayer gathering. I wonder if anyone will notice that I painted the front door yesterday.

~ Melissa Heck has an update from Pennsylvania. Apparently she has been having trouble finding the kinds of Spam she likes -- or something like that...

~ Dave and Joyce Owen are doing well with their summer home assignment -- currently in California.

~ Ned Farnsworth, who is still on Guam with his family for a few more days, has really taken to blogging.

~ Hollie Schaub, is working on her master's degree in intercultural studies at Biola this summer. Sounds like she has that gig under control.

Wow - it is an honour to be mentioned on the Boydston Blogg spots and a privilege to help out at PIBC. You guys are a blessing to Linda (especially in her intern role) and me and I look forward to my return to Guam on the 28th.
