Day 311 - Thursday, May 4, 2017

Santa Ignacia was assigned to sing in Tarlac Zone Conference.  They sounded terrific!  Santa Ignacia is one of two zones that have no sisters in it.  The male voices really blended well together.  It was real music to our ears.  

The sisters are on clean up duty after the Tarlac Zone Conference.  The brooms are called walis tambo or ‘soft broom’. Usually made from dried stalks of grass, this is used for sweeping dust and dirt off the floor inside the house. The walis works very well in the Philippines since most floors are very smooth.  You see Filipinos sweeping both inside houses and outside in their yards.  Most often, the morning time is spent sweeping the rocks off of the dirt path in front of your home or business.  I often think this is because the slippers worn (flip flops) are thin and if you step on a rock, it will really hurt.
