More Guam and PIBC Stuff

This morning we woke up to an earthquake. We have been having several small ones lately, but this one seemed pretty strong and it lasted a long time. We don't know yet how big it was. It didn't knock out power or cause any other problems as far as we know.

Yesterday we completed our PIBC administrative council spring meeting. We had a lot to do with the board meeting coming up in June, preparing for our Masters program and Hawaii addition and dealing with the personnel crisis in Chuuk. We saw a Divine provision this week in Chuuk. God pretty much dropped two very needed people into our lap. Our Guam office manager Ethel Laco recruited her niece to be our Chuuk business manager and Bill Sewell (old friend from Guam) has agreed to come on our faculty as an education teacher and program consultant. This will enable us to keep the Tol campus open this Fall with about 40 first and second year students. Our long term plan is to run an AA program there for which we will need more general education teachers.

Joyce led a hike Tuesday afternoon for a Karin Schulz's sister and her family who are visiting from Germany. They hiked to Priest's Pools (pictured) and saw the sunset from Mount Lamlam. She also completed her project for her Cross-Cultural communication class (pictured above). They did a skit about crisis vs. non-crisis orientation.
