Day 116 - Sunday, October 23, 2016
There are times when we take for granted certain happenings in our lives.  This Sabbath is one of those.  It is a time for rejoicing.  Our missionaries have not partaken of the Sacrament for 2 weeks.  The first week was our General Conference in the Philippines.  Last week most of the missionaries were on lock-down because of Typhoon Haima.  The words spoken by Cheryl Esplin are especially appropriate today, "The sacrament is a renewal for the soul.....The more we ponder the significance of the sacrament, the more sacred and meaningful it becomes to us."  #Hisday

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.
