Exiting Missionaries

Elder Kaitani, Sister Crichton, Sister Valikoula + about 10 others we didn't have to take.

Leaving is always bittersweet....

Forever friends!

TRANSFERS AGAIN!!

New Trainers going off to the Mission Home to learn how to teach the Newbies!

or

as they say it in this mission....

These Sister's just became NANAY'S

HOUSE BUILDING IN MALIGAYA

Elders Quorum President Mark Johnson Dingal

supervising the hauling of the cinder blocks.

These boys and young men have either a towel or a piece of cardboard on the back of their necks for protection.  This one can haul five at a time!

 

 

They have a very long distance to haul them to the site.  The man who came with Elder Jensen thought we should just  have some machine or something do it, but that wouldn't provide these boys with much needed work.

Some of the hard working crew!

Dexter Candari in the red and Brother Ernesto Heve on the right.

MIXING CEMENT THE GRUELING WAY!

 Abba cutting the rebar....

 Cementing the blocks

 The hole for the CR is perfect!  It took one worker all day long to dig it.

 Great scaffolding....

 The back of the homes.

 Check out this legit door and real windows!

 Welded metal roof trusses on the right of this picture.  Almost unheard of in a squatter's area!

 

 
 Chris Lana is the brother on the right who is the welding expert for the job.  He does the bunk beds for the missionaries too.  He lives in Binangonan and is a wonderful man.  His house was just upgraded a few months ago.

 Hiking the way back up.  It is definitely a HIKE!

Sister Schlager and I taking a much needed rest on the way.

 Missionary Work with the Sisters

 

 It was hard telling what we'd find in here....but we got there safe and sound.

 Beautiful View!

 Another hike to an investigator's place.  How they ever find them is a mystery to me!

 

 Great families to teach...the baby on the right is only two months old and has five inches of hair!

MORE PROJECTS, MORE SITES...

We helped Danny and JoAnna open a bank account to put a check he had received from America in.  It costs $ to open an account here.  Not just a deposit either!

It was a happy day for them!

 On the road again....this time chickens going to market!

 Sister Dingal doing laundry...She has her first baby due in March!

THIS POOR POOCH...SO MANY LOOK LIKE THIS.  IT'S SO SAD!

ANOTHER COUPLE OF FENDER BENDERS IN TRAFFIC! 

I guess it goes with the territory....
