Week 28--January 3-9, 2016
A picture of the entrance area of the Fairview Terraces mall that is next to our apartment complex. Instead of wrapping the lights around the trees they dangle the lights from the branches.
We went to Meycauayan on Saturday, January 9, to take rent to a landlord. We had not seen a bicycle trike in our travels before. They were all over in the area where we. As we were driving along we also saw a small heard of goats being driven down the street.
We celebrated another anniversary in the mission field on January 3. Tom tried to find a card but it was impossible, He ended up buying a Valentine's Day card and writing Happy Anniversary on it. It is the thought that counts. We have found that gift cards are not very prevalent here.
Every Tuesday we are asked to attend the meetings in one of the various zones of the mission. We attended Valenzuela Zone this week which is about 50 minutes from our apartment. While our mission is geographically not very large it takes a long time to get from area to another because of the traffic.
We sometimes feel like we are gerbils on a wheel. Tom does support and phone load for the missionaries. He turns around and it is time to do it again. He is still working on getting some of the signed receipts and BIRs (Bureau of Internal Revenue) back from the 1st quarter of 2016. He will have to start on the rent information for the 2nd quarter soon. Garnalee sends one batch of missionaries home and gets a new batch and the process starts all over again.
