| The Primary had a program for the children that was like a mini MTC and they ask us to be the MTC President and wife. |
 |
| The kids were lined up and divided into zones |
 |
| The full time missionaries taught the classes |
 |
| Most of the group at the end of the day. |
 |
| We have been able to help two more young men earn the money for their mission before we leave to go home. |
 |
| They did yard work for Elder and Sister Woodruff |
 |
| And they helped us paint apartments, Rey and Bonnie |
 |
| When we pay them we sit with them and help them fill out their donation slip to make sure they get it all done and are ready to go. We have enjoyed being able to help get these young men and women on their way, they will be good missionaries. |
 |
| I don't know how many of these lunch's we have done, maybe 10 or 12 but this is the last one before we go home. |
 |
| We gave them sloppy joe's and salads They are happy with anything. |
 |
| The house was plenty big but we never had enough chairs |
 |
| Next to eating their favorite thing to do is play games |
 |
| A great bunch of missionaries |
 |
| They always have fun when they are together |
 |
| One day while doing house checks in Paniqui we came out to our car and found we couldn't leave because there was a parade going on. It was the first real parade we had seen and we enjoyed watching. It was a children's parade but very much like a parade at home |
 |
| This was our last multi zone conference and we had to say good by to Sister Bwariti from Christmas Island. |
 |
| Doing house checks in the village of DapDap. We always drew a crowd of children, they seldom see Americans. |
 |
| We went to the West District Relief Society Birthday Social where of course they played games. These people have so much fun playing simple games |
 |
| Then they dance. |
 |
| Each branch did a floor show dance, this is Birbira Branch |
 |
| Branch 4 with Irish Lugoa and Lorraine Martinez leading them. |
 |
| In the East District the theme was Provident Living and each branch had a table of ideas to make things with what they have. These flowers were very pretty and are made from plastic drink bottles. |
 |
| I thought these purses were very pretty. |
 |
| The table display from Branch 6 |
 |
| The food we were served, it was quite good. |
 |
| The District Presidency from East District, |
 |
| Last week we rode with President and Sister Martino to Manila to attend the temple wedding of these two former missionaries from our mission. Sister Gala lived next door to us the last three or four months of her mission |
 |
| This week was transfer week. Our zone before transfers |
 |
| These four sisters have been livmg next door for quite a while. Sister Fabros was taken to be a Sister Trainer Leader. She will do great but she was sad to leave.. Her companion Sister James is from Pakistan but came to us from Tacloban after the terrible typhoon there. She was one of those girls in the second story apartment with the flood waters rising and they had to break a hole through the wall to get out. |
 |
| Sister Connell from Magna Utah has been with us for 4 1/2 months |
 |
| Elder Fatani from New Zealand has been our zone leader, he is a great man. |
 |
| Sister Nielsen from Hurricane Ut just finished her training. |
 |
| Sister Cayman was trained here and then was Sister Nielsens trainer |
 |
| Elder Hubbard has been called to be a zone leader |
 |
| We stopped along the road to watch them harvest sugar cane. The fields are burned before the canes are cut. Then they are cut and tied in bundles and loaded on the trucks by hand, There is a ladder dragging along at the side of the truck that the workers climb. |
 |
| Since there has not been a missionary couple in Baler since November President Martino offered us a chance to go there for a weekend and stay in the house there. We were looking forward to going but then we both got bad colds. We decided to go anyway but we didn't do much while we were there except sleep. We did do apartment checks and installed fire alarms in the missionaries apartments. These zone leaders took us around to all the apartments so as we passed the turnoff to this giant Bannion tree we stopped to show them. |
 |
| We spent alot of our time just watching the ocean, It was quite rough while we were there |
 |
| There were surfing classes going on and we enjoyed watching them |
 |
| Elder Moser is content for hours and hours just watching the waves |
 |
| Shortly after we took this picture we went for a walk along the beach. All of a sudden a wave came right up over the top of us, it knocked me down and I had our camera in my hand so this is the last picture that camera will ever take! Sad day. |
