Week 23--November 29-December 5, 2015
In Montalban, Tom is out apartment shopping. This the view from the apartment we are going to rent for elders. There is no room between the buildings. This neighborhood is bursting with possibilities for missionary work.
This is a statue of Jesus Christ at the entrance of Montalban Memorial Park.
We stopped at a roadside stand on Tuesday, December 1, and purchased this beauty for P200 which is about $4. We could not have done that back home in Idaho.
Tom tore out the cucumber plants and planted some more. The ones on the left were planted 3 weeks ago and the ones on the right two weeks ago.
The little ones on the left were planted three days ago. We are going to be eating lots when they start to produce.
He tried planting lettuce but we haven't seen any plants yet.
Tom is doing a great job teaching the Sunday School Gospel Doctrine class. He was told on Sunday by one of the sisters how much she enjoyed the class. Garnalee was asked to teach Relief Society next week on Recognizing and Understanding the Promptings of the Holy Ghost.
Tom has been working on getting rent checks and tax forms ready to go out to the 65 landlords of the apartments. Garnalee is busy filling mail run orders, entering baptism records, and working with Tom on finance things.
We spent our Family Home Evening this week on modifying our Family History presentation for the Christmas Conference.
Friday, December 4, as promised we delivered a rent check to the Malolos sisters' to give to their landlord who lives next door to them. The best part of the trip was having dinner with the Broadheads at a Chinese restaurant (Hap Chan). Our favorite was the fried rice and sweet and sour pork. It was only $5.39 each for a wonderful dinner.
Saturday we meet the landlord of the Rogers' house to pay her the rent at the mission office. We then worked for the next four hours on rent and apartment issues. Lots of good things were accomplished. One of the tasks that was accomplished was to order new cell phones. It seems that the missionaries loss one or two per week. The missionaries have to purchase a replacement for $18.14.
After working at the office, we went grocery shopping. At the mall you can have your car washed while you shop. Since it had been several weeks since the last wash we decided it was time. When we came out of the mall it was raining on our freshly washed car.

That about the car being washed and then rain is too funny. Miss you two. Love Marion
