On the early morning of a Thursday, the 18th of June, Philippine Airlines Flight PR 110 touched down at Guam's airport. The rector of the Cathedral fetched me and brought me to my temporary home - the Archbishop's residence. There and there I was welcomed by Archbishop Anthony and his dog, Koa. Here is my temporary domicile as I await the other two which will complete the team to help run Father Duenas Memorial School (FDMS).![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgenA7aQ5J_LGHPTfMbONZw4qWuyKi1GAkmHpU4fpQAyQ7MK7biz6JEbnTO-MOpA9xTm_wgG2zJa0TpVy6C1qC9E4coKq4WgIm4Klux5bJow3t68mrUSIRZW-o-qOZkdawymcKQ8A/s320/gum_beach.jpg)

The following day I went to the beachfront to the places of battle where the Americans reclaimed Guam from the Japanese during WWII.
