[This partial blog entry was not completed during our last days in Guam, so have decided to publish it although incomplete]

We arrived a little early for the services at Harvest Baptist.  One of the men ran to our car with an umbrella to escort us through the rain from the parking lot to the church.

Men’s quartet singing, “God Leads Us Along”

Pastor Pena sang “To God Be the Glory” with trumpet and piano accompaniment.  This is his last Sunday, as he and his family are moving to the Dominican Republic to be in ministry there.

After church, Marie invited us to lunch with her at TuRe Cafe — http://turecafe.com Unfortunately, we could not sit outside at the beach-side tables due to the rain and wind.  Marie is the first person who befriended us the first Sunday at Harvest Baptist.  We had a wonderful time getting to know her better.  We found out that she grew up in the village of Inarajan, where we visited yesterday.

We took Marie home, since she does not drive, then went to visit the Chaguiam massacre site.  The massacre was only discovered 10 years ago and the first memorial service was in 2008–  http://mvguam.com/component/content/article/128-chaguian-the-forgotten-massacre.html

Thanks to a boyscout and his father’s efforts, the site had a memorial and signs.  Of all the massacre sites, this one is the easiest to find.

Since this sign was originally made the names of the two unknown victims have been found.

We got the the Pacific War Museum (located on Route 6 about 300 yards off Marine Corp Drive) less than an hour before the 4pm closing.  It is well worth the $3 entrance fee.

The Pacific War Museum entrance is fairly attractive, considering that the front wall is two shipping containers.
