Blessie's Quilts

This a a couple who have made quite the business for themselves here. They have hired many and have taught them how to quilt and piece quilts.  They have a warehouse, workshop and also bring a huge supply to the Bazaar's we go to every month.  Their boot is always swarmed.  They also have a contract with someone at Deseret Book and make quiet books etc.  Here is a picture of me with a wall quilt I had them make to remember our mission.

Another one of their businesses is a reception center in Angeles.  Where the Seniors stopped for lunch after our visit to Nayong Piliino.

They have about 5-6 great rooms to rent out for weddings etc.  It's a family business, plus they also have an auto shop next door.  

Now here are some that are very enterprising!


MISSION CALL IN THE PHILIPPINES!

This is the Heve family. Julie Ann is the younger daughter of two.  She just received a mission call in the Branch President's office to the Philippines Cauayan Mission.
Which is on our same island but much North of us.

It is always so cool to see someone receive a call from the Lord!

Sister Heve recently went through the temple and on October 17th, Brother Heve and JulieAnn will both go through too.  They will all be sealed.
The other sister Joan is finishing up school and then plans to go on a mission in about a year.
