We attended Harvest Baptist Church — www.hbcguam.net — this morning, which is about a 30 minute drive from where we are staying in Santa Rita.  It is to the north and located on the south side of the airport.  We did not find the former supporter today.  One of the members stated that he has been experiencing “health issues,” but that he is usually there.  Maybe we will try again next Sunday, but doubt that we will drive that far every Sunday as there are so many other good churches much closer.

First time visitors at the church are given welcome bags.  Each of us, got a nice insulated drinking cup with lid and straw.  There was also a Hershey bar in each bag, but with the heat they were in a liquid state.  A few minutes in the freezer when we got home restored them to being edible, versus drinkable!

On the way home, we stopped by a couple of the many war memorial parks that are on Guam.  Our last stop was at the T. Snell Newman Visitor Center — http://www.nps.gov/wapa/t-stell-newman-visitor-center.htm —  just outside the navy base, which gives a great timeline of the history of Guam and especially the events from 8 December 1941 (when Guam was invaded by the Japanese only a few hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor) to 21 July 1944 (Liberation Day in Guam when American forces began to retake Guam) to 10 August 1944 when Japanese resistance ended.

We only saw a few of the displays before closing time, so will go back later to see more.  This really shed some light on the significance of the various other war memorials we have already seen and many others we hope to visit while here,
