Day 16 - Friday, July 15, 2016
Every 6 weeks missionaries transfer in and others go home.  It's the life cycle of a mission.  Occasionally, because of school schedules, a missionary needs to return home before the actual transfer date.  Behind the door below is an Elder having his final interview with his mission president.  It is a very tender time as reflection on his two year mission and instruction after his mission takes place.

Day 213 - Saturday, January 28, 2017 I sat in the hall with this cute sister in Bongabon.  We were waiting for the adult session to begin for the  District Conference.  It was fascinating to speak with her.  She has been working abroad for many, many years.  Her husband and two children remained in the Phililppines.  She is grateful to now live full-time in the Philippines again.
