Joyce and I are back on Guam. We arrived at 4.45 AM after being up all night. The Palau-Guam flight leaves at 1.45 AM. After sleeping in a little - I got up about 10.15 AM - I am getting caught up on email, blogging etc. I am planning on making several posts over the next few days about our time in Palau. The main purposes of the trip were to attend the PIBC Board meeting and the Palau Gospel Days celebration. There were many other great things that happened during the week while we were there that I will talk about in later posts.
Actually the Palau adventure started a couple days before we went down when we picked up Bill and Barb Schuit at the airport on Sunday night the 22nd. Bill and Barb were our missionary colleagues back in the 80's in Palau and Bill was now coming back to Palau as the new Global Director for Liebenzell Mission USA and as a PIBC Board member. At the board meeting Bill was also voted in as the new chairman of the board. I am pictured here with them as they got off the plane on Guam.
We had quite a group fly down with us on the plane Tuesday night. Joyce and I, the Schuits, board member Neil Culbertson, Chuuk campus director Yosta Lodge, Guam campus director Jens Schulz and Don Howell from CIU all went through check in together and then we met Liebenzell International Director Martin Auch and LMUSA board member Howard Merrell inside the airport as they transferred flights. We had a good time of conversation as we waited to board our flight.
When we arrived we rode the Gospel Kindergarten bus to the Palasia Hotel where we stayed throughout the whole week. (This was our view from the Hotel) We (all of us with the mission and PIBC) were generously blessed with the Palauan's donation of the hotel stay and everything else we needed while there. Of course the Palauan Church also took great care of us with plenty of food and their usual wonderful hospitality. I am just sorry that we had to leave on Sunday night and miss the Monday trip to the rock islands. More later...
