Well, this is the outside of my apartment in Agana Heights, Guam. The door and two lower windows are mine. I arrived from Hawaii on Thursday (Wednesday for you--just remember that I am 15 hours ahead of you).
Everything has gone well so far. The principal of Guam Adventist Academy, where I will be teaching 1st and 2nd grade, took myself and another missionary out to get a few things we needed for our apartments. I have this apartment by myself which I really don't mind. Until school starts I am going to be a bit lonely (like right now) but I know as soon as school starts I am going to be too busy to think about it. The island hasn't been very hot over the past few days. I think it has been in the 80s so far but I know better than to think that is how it will always be. I have AC in my place but I don't run it very often because I have to pay part of the electric bill and I want to get more used to the heat so I will be able to stand it more. I know what you are thinking, "Kim, you are crazy." My answer to that is simple, "Did you expect anything less??"
I know that people are praying for me and I am truly thankful for that. If it weren't for God I most certainly wouldn't be out here, so I know He will never abandon me. Right now I do feel a bit lonely...you all know I am a social butterfly....but I think that God is trying to tell me that it is ok to be "alone" right now. This is my time to connect more to Him.

Maybe I need $500... is there anything else I could try to eat. I ate some sand once... nobody paid me for that. Looking forward to your posts. Kim - God sent you there, He is going to use you and lives are going to forever be different because of your reflection of Him - enjoy Guam and reflecting. :)
Well, you've crossed over! Glad to see you are on blogspot. :P Remember, Christ sought alone time with God. That is wonderful time to recharge, refocus, and recommit.
Uh...$500!?! **thinking** No, but I would eat sand! LOL Anyway, I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well and you are happy knowing that Jesus is in control and He is right by your side. Keep your focus on Him and you can't/won't go wrong. I will continue to pray for you and your students. :O)
Hey Kim,
I praise the Lord for your bravery and that you are so willing to step out of your comfort zone! You are an inspiration to me. Well, I just wanted to let you know that you're in my prayers and thoughts.
Sincerely,
Adrianne
Nice title for the new blog Kim. Man alive, don't eat too many!!! Lucky you... that is a beautiful part of the world. That's where I spent several hours under the sea with the fish, swallowing salt water, and just loving every minute. Well... not always, but it was an adventure. So take God into each moment. If you run into Roger and Amy, tell them HI from me. Do you think you will visit Chuuk/Truk/Weno.. you know what I mean!! :) Many blessings to you Kim!
Micheal...sorry, it has to be a cockroach. I might have backed down and said it could be sand, but then you told me you gladly ate it...I hope you were a child when this happened ;)
Paeter...thanks for the reminder, I really needed it.
Elizabeth...no you can't follow in Micheal's footsteps and eat the sand :)
Adrianne...thanks for the prayers. I hope you got the email I responded to awhile ago
Melanie...if I see Amy and Roger I will most definately say hi for you although I am not sure if I will be able to return to Chuuk.
Girl!
Glad to see that you are still alive and going strong. Just remember that you are far from alone. You have the best companion you could ever ask for. I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for you. You're in my thoughts and prayers.Oh,and by the way, you are truly missed!
Heather
