Wonderful people....wonderful life!

Jhun's 39th Birthday! 

 Every single crumb of this was gone in a matter of minutes!

 While the professional photographer was taking pictures, I caught this one!

 

 Maria Jane & Marivic and us with cute little Moroni...

Days with the Sisters and Elders...

 

Oh the places we go....perhaps seven flights of stairs up to a house with a grand view!

 

Just some of the wonderful people we meet wherever we go!

 The roads often traveled...
steep inclines, rocky, uneven paths,
sometimes over streams how they find these places is so interesting!

Often we have to pass right through a neighborhood basketball game in process.

We are never alone, there is always people around or all manner of animals.  Here is a cute family of ducks.

Great new investigators!  The family above has two daughters and 2 sons.  He's a taxi driver and they are considered "middle class".  See their finished wall behind them?


The couple on the left are even a little more well off.  they have beautiful tile on their floor and he has a professional job.

It was great teaching them!  So receptive and had great questions.

We were wet from sweat and humidity from head to toe!  Both Sister Schlager and My hair curls in the heat and humidity.

We heard constant loud cries from what we thought were a litter of baby kittens that went on for a couple of days so, I went outside to inspect.  The mother cat was watching me near by  and I zero'd in to this small hole where the drain to our washing machine goes.  We took a flashlight and looked into the small pipe.  The picture on the left shows the pipe going down into the ground with an elbow and through about a 8 inch wall on the patio. A kitten was lodged into the pipe!  All we could see is her face in the pipe. We don't know how she got there or where the pipe leads to.  We tried to coax her through but she couldn't go through only her face.  That was a week ago. It made us so sick to think she was stuck in that pipe.  We tried to flush her out with a hose but we think she went into a T of the pipe or something.  Feeling totally helpless we prayed for her to find her way out or to die quickly putting her out of her misery.  Each and every day this week we have heard her cries for help and the Mommy cat crying back.  It has been AWFUL.  Today at least 8-10 days after we first heard her, we still hear her.  It really has been quite traumatic for us.
