 Doesn't that cute little grandma remind you a little bit of Grandma Johnson?


A happy, happy day for these wonderful people.

Ercelida Heve and her daughter Julieann (soon to receive her mission call)

 
We took them all to the temple in our truck.
Jennie, the 13 yr old niece of the Calderon's came along to watch the daughter during the endowments. She feel asleep on me on the way to the temple.  Sooo sweet.  The 5 year old fell asleep on me on the way home.

QUEEN FOR A DAY!

Mission Miracles!

Zone Activity

Marshmallow Straw Fight!!

 Zone Leader Elder Merrill trying to get everyone's attention to give "rules".  HELLO!
In this game there ARE NO RULES!



The ammo.....everyone had at least one bag.  At the end everyone had only used about 1/2 bag.  They were the best!  About the size of a pencil eraser. 



We had to find a secluded forest...where no one could see a bunch of LDS missionaries acting like this.  :)


It was supposed to be like steal the flag.....
but it ended in a free for all.
Elder Culango acted like it was HUNGER GAMES!  See his shield...

 



We got absolutely NO mercy!

The front.....

The back....
 Accident in the Philippines!
Our back right side dented and smooshed!
Isuzu Drop-side crushed front.






 It took us over four hours to fill out an accident report.

We are so grateful for the Sister Missionaries but were so frustrated and anxious we didn't get their picture.
Never thought we'd spend some time here!

Coconut Plantation

with the Senior Couples





Grandpa in his Vietnamese rice workers hat.

 Waiting for the Caribou ride.....






Native singers in the back of each wagon.

 They had a Filipino buffet and you ate at these tables with your feet in the water.  No silverware so we had to eat with our hands.  We are going to come back with no social graces, I'm afraid.

The Program




Excellent dancers who were so beautiful!


Amazing costumes for each dance.



 Cups of water on their heads the whole time they danced, laid down and stood back up etc.

 The Grounds

The Museum
Chandelier in a building



War artifacts...


 Lovely Gardens....

Great Company
