Helaman 5:12
"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation;that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall not power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

What a Mission!!
Another wonderful two weeks. Couples conference was so inspiring! We are so blessed to have President and Sister Mecham at the helm. What a wonderful team they make! We enjoyed so much a McDonald's hamburger! Hard to imagine you would get such excitement out of Mickey D's! Cold Stone ice cream was another top of the list places to visit on Guam. Our suitcases were full of groceries (too full actually, 13 lbs over). But Sunday's pork roast, potatoes and gravy were worth it!
I want to tell you on this blog about an amazing family. Meet the Kalio family with the picture of Dad and Mom. They have 13 children. He is our District President. We showed you their home in our previous blog. We were able to see two more of their children open their mission calls this weekend. All four of their children will be in the MTC in October with 3 of the four entering October 8th!! Their nephew they raised is also leaving on a mission (also in the picture). They have an older daughter that just returned home from her mission a few months ago! There is a video about President Kalio on you tube. It is worth watching.

We had a great day with the Zone Elders and Sisters playing on the Island of Nahlap! It gives new meaning to the word "Resort Island". It was so wonderful to watch these young men and women enjoy each others company on the beach. What fun they had! Missionary work is hard and it is so nice to have a day of play.
