Wow we have had a lot of activity around PIU lately. Maybe you have been wondering where I have been, but I promise to get my blog caught up on the last couple weeks of activity here. I have plenty of pictures and to post and I will try to get them up here as I travel the next few days. One of the things Joyce and I really enjoy about living here on Guam is the opportunity to have so many visitors. We do a lot of airport runs (as many as 50-75 in a year) and have had people from all over the world staying at our house. So many interesting people and so many good discussions! In October we have been privileged to host the Bensons from Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee and Kent and Nola Edwards from Talbot Seminary in La Mirada California. The students also like to come out and provide a melodic welcome to our visitors.
The Benson’s arrived
soon after the beginning of October and stayed at our house for a little over two weeks as Matt taught the Introduction to Missions course for our Pacific Islands Evangelical Seminary. We enjoyed getting to know Matt, his wife Melody and their three children Jonathan, Joshua and Emi. Matt not only taught his class but helped us quite a bit as an administrative consultant. We hope we will be able to get the whole family back out here again soon.
This week we enjoyed having the Edwards with us for the preaching conference. I will be posting several times about the conference soon. On Guam many of the flights come in at odd times, especially the ones from the Micronesian islands and sometimes the ones from Japan. The flight that the Benson’s and Edwards flew in on landed at 11.45 PM. Nevertheless the students really enjoy coming out to properly welcome our guests. See below…
Joyce, finds a good way to relax while waiting for the late-night flight!
