Good news! my cousins S & L are moving back to the States from Guam the end of June. They will be here most of July visiting family, til they settle down in Austin, Texas before school starts. the Frog and I are really excited to see them and their four kids and how much they have grown in the 2 years they've been there.
L got her Master's and they moved there so she could teach deaf students at a school there from all over Micronesia. They have had some wonderfully rich experiences being there that they have shared in their e-mails. Learning how to snorkel, scuba dive and entertaining the LDS missionaries in their home.
Their Oldest Son J was even baptized in the Pacific Ocean last year with both sets of his Grandparents visiting to see him take such a big step. How many people get to say that? S had an important job in the Church hooking up the different branches on the islands around to the internet and satellite systems so the members could do Genealogy and hear Conference Broadcasts. They said they met more General Authorities of the Church living in Guam than they did their whole lives in Utah! S even got to help co-ordinate the Humanitarian efforts sent by Church Headquarters to aid the Tsunami victims.
The Frog and I thought they were crazy moving with 4 kids halfway round the world but their lives have been really blessed. And they have blessed us by sharing their experiences with us. We are so glad they will be around to visit with before thy start off on another adventure.
