Abstract: Jesuit records detail efforts to establish a lasting mission in the Marianas. The account describes the challenges of language, conversion, and resistance from local leaders. Despite difficulties, the missionaries considered their presence a foundation for Spain’s longer-term influence in Micronesia.
