It had this sculptured scene all the way around the base and a pool below on the back side' |
I liked this tribute to those men who endured all that they did |

The district Relief Society had it's anniversary party last Saturday. Each branch had a table and demonstrated cooking seafood. |
Then each branch did a cultural dance. Some went all out with their costumes and some were very simple. |
I expected there cultural dances to be more like the other islands but it is very much like the Spanish. I guess since Spain controlled these islands for so many years their culture was adopted. |
Then some of the ladies sang for us. This cute girl is 28 and has a son but her husband works abroad to support them. He has been gone for three years and will not be home for another year! |
Of course a party would not be complete without some games. This one was a relay while balancing the book on your head. These ladies are very good at it. |
We went to another FHE with the sisters and Sister Evangelista had offered to cook so here she is in the families kitchen. |
While she cooked we entertained the kids by taking their pictures. They love to have their picture taken. |
Elder Carazzco is going home tomorrow so they had a farewell party for him in the branch and about 60 came, several who have been less active for years. |
Elder Moser got to baptise these two children Friday. They are the children of Levi Gregasso, the man he baptised a couple of months ago. Levi is to Kents left and the mother is in pink at the front. |
Another baptism this week in Birbira. These elders are Elder Nields from N Ogden and Elder Dela Cruz from the Philippines |
Every week the missionaries have a service day, sometimes each companionship does there own thing and sometimes they do a big project all together. This day they all cut and stacked wood for a widow. |
Of course while they are waiting for lunch they have to find something to occupy themselves with so they all invaded our bed!! Elder Moser kept warning them if they break our bed there will be war! |
