Week 45--May 1-7, 2016
The Merri Miss girls--front row (l-r): Jewel, Maureen, Jennifer; back row: Clarisse and Princess.
We have had several of these characters in the office recently. This is a medium sized one. They came to spray this week. Hopefully we won't see any more.
One of the reasons Tom is not losing weight is because of the great lunches Sister Cherry makes for the missionaries whenever they meet at the Camarin building. This week there are Zone Interviews for two zones and Mission Leadership Council Meeting. This lunch of veggies, rice with gravy, pork chop, and Rice Krispy bar is very typical of the kinds of meals she prepares. Tom has told her if she moves to Blackfoot and opens a restaurant he will be her best customer. He has even suggested a name for her establishment. It will be called Holy Carabao: (as opposed to Holy Cow) Philippine Cuisine. He believes it would be a great hit in the US. Her specialty dish is pancit which everyone loves.
It was a clear day so Tom took this picture. You can see Quezon City in the background.
Tom wrote an article and sent it the Blackfoot Morning News about five missionaries from Blackfoot all serving in the Quezon City North Mission together. It was recently published and we hope someone will safe us a copy.
A special event this week was Easton graduating from the University of Northern Colorado on Saturday, May 7.
It is hard to believe that this little boy is that old.
And today he is this handsome man on the left.
Monsoon season starts the first of May, and we had several heavy rain showers this week.
Garnalee has had one of the landlady's calling her almost daily for the past couple of weeks. She says she needs to hear her cheery voice. The landlady calls herself Cherry. She consented several months ago to let the missionaries visit her. She lives outside the mission boundaries so Garnalee had placed her name in the Church's referral system and assigned her to the Quezon City Mission where she lives. In visiting with Cherry this week Garnalee learned that the missionaries had never visited her. Garnalee contacted the Referral Manager team and had the referral escalated. Cherry called on Friday to let Garnalee know that her daughter had passed her bar exams and that two young missionaries had visited her. She is willing to listen to their message. Will have to wait and see what happens.
It has been a typical week for us serving in the office. But we should mention that we really enjoy serving with the other missionaries and are comfortable with our daily routine. We believe we are having a positive impact on the mission.
