Week 41--April 3-9, 2016
Batman vs Superman has arrived in the Philippines. The media hype to promote the movie included life size models of Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, and the Batmobile.
Bigger Better Burger Triple X is the best burger Tom has had in years. The sign says it is three 1/3 pound patties made of 100% premium ground beef, but along with home-style fries and cucumber lemonade the scales say he gained 1.8 pounds. "I,m losing the battle of the bulge." He has decided he won't have another Triple X while we are here but would go for the Double Dare.
Enjoying lunch between the sessions of General Conference on Sunday, April 10. We felt like the pioneers when they would pack a lunch to church and have a picnic lunch between the meetings or the sessions of conference.
On Sunday, April 3, the traffic on Quirino Highway was crazy. It took us 25 minutes to get to church that normally takes about 10 minutes. On the four lane highway there were four lanes coming from the opposite direction leaving us with one narrow lane to travel on.
President Bertin and his family, who were here visiting for a few days, attended our Ward. He suggested we take the back way home where we would come out at Fairview Terraces which is right next to our apartment complex. We took his advice, and with the help of Sister Google we were able to find our way. It still took us 25 minutes but it was a lot less stressful.
Sister Seuifalamua injured her knee in a Zone activity a week ago so she is on limited activity. President Bertin asked if I could keep her and her companion, Sister Hulme, busy for a couple days in the office. I gave them bottles of vitamins to count out into batches of 60, place in plastic bags and an envelope, and label for distribution to the missionaries. The Area Office used to supply Centrum to the mission, but now we have to purchase our own. Sister Bertin goes to S&R, the Costco of the Philippines, and purchases large bottles of Kirkland Vitamins that we use. I then had them cut apart and laminate inspired question cards. The inspired question cards have five questions that the missionaries memorize to use in OYMing and street contacting. Tom had them update the missionary apartment list with all the information he needs on each apartment.
Tom has designated Garnalee as the driver when we go to Casa Milan. We need a sticker on our windshield which we haven't been able to get because our registration isn't current. Tom has decided they won't turn her away because she is better looking. We are waiting on the PAO to supply the registration but they don't seem to be any big hurry, Welcome to the Philippines!!
We spent Saturday listening to six hours of General Conference. The older we get the more we gain from conference. We are grateful for the inspired messages that were delivered that help us strive to do better each day.
