Getting Ready for "Ruby".....

Sing Carols While You Work....la lalala la la la

 Preparing Food Bundles for Typhoon Ruby!

 
 Filling rice sacks... and assembly line filling the Church bags.

Danny is in the black and red striped shirt on the left.

 



 

 IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE
CHRISTMAS, EVERYWHERE WE GO...
 
 Everything here comes in small packages...JUST LOOK at the wrapping paper rolls....
 These rolls of wrapping paper are only as large as Elder J's finger!


 Soda Bottle Straw Art....LOVE IT!


 Tell me, this Santa wouldn't scare the pants off your little ones?




Street lights decorated in Cainta

They really use these stars with streamers a lot, but I don't know the significance.

Our new mall decor....nice!  

 
They use STARS A LOT in their decorations!
 

CHRISTMAS HAM

Pig butts roasting on an
open fire....

No FROST nipping at
our nose....

 
the one on the right was on the front and top of a building.

 



 Danny & JoAnna Faircloth
 This is a poster the missionaries made for Danny to help him focus on Jesus Christ when he is trying so hard to stop smoking.




Sister Heve...Teresa's Newest Missionary the day before she entered the MTC
 Her sister is going to keep up her FaceBook so we can keep tabs on her.  We love her!

 

Oh the lengths we have to go just to inspect a missionary apartment!
See the bright green at the top of my picture....that is the Teresa Elders apartment.
Sometimes these stairs are covered in slippery moss and are very dangerous to navigate.
It is still a ways down to the ground from where Elder J. is standing!




THREE BAPTISMS THIS WEEK!

 L-R:Children getting baptized, Jamuel Peralta Beruega, Joice Piedad Cabanda, Rolando Dugayo Peralta III (or better known as Tiguero which means Tiger.)



The Cabanda Family


The Peralta Family


Tall Elder Tinsely with the two boys...look closely at the length of their baptismal clothing.

Do you think they could use some smaller sizes in this Branch?




They look like they are melting!
 RS & EQ COUPLES NIGHT SOCIAL


Great Balloons!

Binangonan Branch dancing to 1960's music!

Thanksgiving in the Philippines...

Thanksgiving 
with the 
Philippines Quezon City Mission Senior Missionaries


We had dinner in the Area Office Building Canteen.



Very pretty buffet!


Typical Thanksgiving Day...Men on the chairs in front of the large screen T.V.




Women in the KITCHEN!
 

 Writing their 100 things they were thankful for...

Our great entertainment!


LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT
 Missionaries taking their audio assessments for Tagalog.


This sister is from Pakistan. Actually she is the first one from Pakistan in our mission.


What the native speakers do while they are waiting for their companions to do the assessments.
 We brought one couch in so that we (Elder and I) could be more comfortable all week.  Everytime we got up to help someone at the computer the couch was filled.  So we brought in another one....hmmmmm.  We sat on plastic chairs along the wall.

 Buco Salad
brought to us by 
Elder Asok!




Provo City Sends Me A Package!
A Provo Rocks T-Shirt, bag, pen, book candies!  So Fun!
Thanks Matt and Louise...Provo is great!!
Random Pics....
This is what happens to the blood vessels in your eyes when you drive in the Filipino traffic!
