Packing and Planning for Saipan

My Delta App says that in 5 days, 6 hours, I will be checking in for my flight to Saipan. Its's getting real! My hope is to give you a running report on what I am doing on the other side of the world this summer. I didn't get a chance to show you on Sunday what the island looks like. I have been watching  Saipan Beach on EarthCam and it looks lovely!


I think the EarthCam might be located near the Hyatt Hotel. If so, that would place us looking west according to this map:
The island is 12 miles long and 5 miles wide at its widest part. It will be the rainy season while I am there this summer and the temperatures should run in the 80's. I had to do a little shopping today to try to find a lightweight, 3/4 sleeve shirt to wear in case it feels too chilly some days for a sleeveless blouse yet too warm for a sweater. And it had to match my other outfits. Only taking one suitcase and one carry-on bag, I need all my clothes to be interchangeable in color. I finally found one that will work okay at the mall.

I am not sure where the church is on this map. I feel like it might be up toward the top and to the west (left) by what Pastor Dave and Helen Ann have told me about their lives. It got me to thinking about what I told you on Sunday, that my dream of making cheese did not come true. But this dream is even better! To love God and people,both here and there, and then here again...well, its taxing my ability to come up with words to describe the wonderfulness of it! So I guess I will quit for now, and get back to packing.

Talk to you later,

Amy

A Beach Experience of Living Hope

Yesterday was Wednesday in Saipan, which means Lu Min was here. She is the Buchers' housekeeper who comes once a week to help tidy things up. Lu Min doesn't like people "under her feet" so we typically take our day off on Wednesday. At least, that has been the pattern for the past three Wednesdays. Yesterday's adventure was a hike through the jungle to see The Old Man by the Sea. See him? It's the rock formation in the center of the photo. Getting here we parked on a road and then headed into the jungle on foot. A shy mile later we emerged onto this hidden beach guarded by the old man's head. (That clump of hair in the center front is a decomposed palm tree stump. Yes, I wondered about it too.) Anyhow, the jungle path was a narrow footpath with sharp descents that required holding onto ropes people had left tied to trees. Slipping, sliding, repelling, we made it through the jungle overgrowth to a mangrove forest that mediated between the jungle and sa...

For Every Thing There is a Season

I have thought all week about what I might like to write in what will likely be my final post of the summer from the Saipan location. I thought about telling you about the last couple of days we spent with the newly appointed Micronesia District Superintendent who visited our church to start the process of becoming acquainted with the churches he will be overseeing. He is from South Korea, a place unlike Saipan yet somewhat similar to Davenport climate-wise, but unlike both in mannerisms and customs. Sharing our various stories with him as a church the past couple of days is something I will remember for the rest of my life. Monday night we all ate together as a church, and around the table five different heart languages were represented as we conversed in our only common language, English. We ate grilled brats and hotdogs, spaghetti and mac-n-cheese bites with forks and spoons --- and cupcakes for dessert. The next night three of us went with him to a Korean restaurant wher...

Constellations and Other Body Movements

Many clear nights I can see the Southern Cross out my window as I lay in my bed. My iPhone didn't capture it well enough to post here, so I borrowed a picture of the Southern Cross from the internet. This one is courtesy of Astro Photography of Australia.  It's the four stars with the pinkish one at the top. The Southern Cross is a new constellation to me not visible from North America. In Minnesota we have constellations such as the Big and Little Dippers, with Polaris the North Star being the set-point or "pole star" in the sky. The southern pole star is called Sigma Octantis, a star too dim for navigation, so the nearby Southern Cross is used in its place. Like in the northern hemisphere where the stars in the sky appear to revolve around Polaris, the southern hemisphere stars appear to revolve around the Southern Cross. Excuse me for a minute while I go put on some flip flops. A wasp wants to be my friend. I snipped it off my mouse and now I can't see w...
