Chuck in Guam

Chuck's update from 8/18/06:

Sorry for no pictures yet. I've been extremely busy making lesson
plans and going to teacher meetings and training, teaching and
grading papers. The first week now done, I have a little time to
breathe...
Guam is different. There's a lot of asians and Fillipinos here.
Guam does have a K-Mart, although prices are sometimes twice as high,
they have basically everything a K-Mart in the states would have.
It's part of the Micronesian islands--only 30 miles long and 10 miles
wide, with 150,000 people. It's 1500 miles from the Phillipines, and
if you go another 1500 miles in that same direction, you'll get to
Thailand. It stays about 72-88 degrees year round. There's only 2
seasons here: rainy season and dry season. It's the rainy season
right now, so it rains every day. In the dry season, it rains about
every 3 or 4 days(still kind of 'wet' !)

I'm teaching at a Christian school of 1,000 students, but the
majority of island is Catholic. I'm teaching 10th gr.High school
Biology, 8th earth science and 9th & 11th intro to computers. It's a
3 year teaching contract, but I can come home during the summers.

Right now, I'm living in one of the many apartments owned by the
school--faculty housing--with another teacher for a roomate, with
separate bedrooms and share a bathroom, den and kitchen. It's pretty
nice--rent is about $300 a month for each of us.
Thank you for your prayers.
God bless,
Charles
