July 3 (Sabbath)
JULY THREE
Well, Sabbath was cool! I don’t remember all the details cause i am writing this after the weekend…which seems like years long! 
so yeah…lets see…what DID we do on sabbath?
Ok, so sabbath morning as i was getting ready, i think i was doing my hair, no mind…anyways…A. Andrea comes and tells me that the youth are leading out and are in charge of sabbath school for that sabbath and they were wondering if i would be willing to do special music. I was like….”um….ok…” So that was it! We finished getting ready for church, and then Alissa and i walked to church. i played a hymn for the “special number” that i was supposed to do, then we had a special feature about the good and bad of the tongue. After special feature, we were all dismissed to go to sabbath school. So i went with all the “youth” and mr. Ernie, who is the chief organizer person of the clinic….i was THE ONLY non-asian…which i guess isn’t really surprising…and it wasn’t that awkward, but it was still…interesting. lol
Anyways, after S.S. we had church, and it was good, they have a BLACK preacher…he spoke on the Sabbath. it was good…anyways, after church, we went home for lunch. U. Mike invited the current SM (student missionary) Jacob, to have lunch and spend the afternoon with us. Mr. Ernie invited me and the new dentist couple (the Joseph’s) to go with the rest of the youth on a “tour of the island” so around 4:30 we all met at the church with a bunch of other members and decided where to go first. We went to Bird Island look out and i finally took my camera somewhere for once, and so i took pics. I will post them later or something! my computer is too slow to upload them now. Anyways, after we left bird island we headed up to Mount Tapachao. It is SOOOOOO beautiful up there!!!!!! I can’t believe that a bloody war was fought on the exact same ground a long time ago during WWII. i was able to take lots of pictures of the gorgeous sunset and of the “lil cuzins”, but a camera can NEVER capture a moment! I think i would like to honeymoon in Saipan, or even have my wedding on top of Mt. Tapachao! On the drive up the mountain, there are very nice mansions! They are all nice and large. Some need a paint job or two and i am sure some of them are not good at all, but they all have priceless views! From the top, you can see the ENTIRE island of Saipan AND Tinian island (where they have like 7 airstrips..they flew the atomic bomb to japan from that island)….and you can also see a small island called “Goat island” that is supposedly only over-run by goats and animals of different kinds….one of the few white men here, commented that they should release a family of Bengal tigers onto Goat island or something because the animals are running over the veggies!
Anyways, we had sundown worship up there, and then all headed back home. I had a most enjoyable day! 
I don’t really remember what happened that evening, except that we went to bed, and i..yeah…i don’t remember. ANyways, i am gonna be done with this post finally now so that i can publish it!
Loves and hugs to ya’ll!
