An Enjoyable Monday Night

We had a wonderful time tonight. First the Plaxtons are back on Guam! We picked up Tim, Melody and Erin at the airport at 6 PM. They flew the LAX-Honolulu-Guam 18 hour marathon but they looked pretty good. The Boydston's and Rob Watt were also there to greet them when they got off the plane. Melody is our Guam academic dean and Tim is our maintenance director. Erin will be heading down to Palau in a few days where she is a teacher at Bethania Christian School for Girls. We go to the airport a lot to drop off and pick up and I can tell you, we enjoy saying hello a lot more than saying goodbye.



After getting the Plaxton's into their car so they could drive home and get some well needed rest, we went home to enjoy some barbeque with Rob Watt, our Palau teaching facility coordinator and Orichi Orichiro, our Chuuk campus dean of men, and his family. Orichi is here with his wife and 7 kids to take some summer classes to finish up his BA degree. We enjoyed the hot dogs, chicken, oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies and good fellowship. The highlight of the evening was an action song in Chuukese by 5 of the Orichiro children. Rob will be heading back to Palau tomorrow night and Orichi and his family will be heading back to Chuuk this week. It was nice to be able to just sit with no work agenda and just get to know each other better. There must be barbeques in the eternal kingdom right?
