Week 52--June 19-25, 2016
One year since we entered the MTC. The time has flown by and the next 6 months will go even more quickly.
Missionaries signing our Mission Banner similar to the Title of Liberty that Captain Moroni lifted in the Book of Mormon. The missionaries have been given the invitation to baptize weekly. The banner represents the commitment of each missionary to strive to achieve that goal.
Missionaries signing are Elder Montemor and Elder Domingo.
More missionaries signing the banner.
Tom is known as the Cookie Elder. The missionaries in each apartment have been given the rent voucher and BIR to have signed by the landlord. If they return the paper work at their zone conference each missionary in the apartment is rewarded with a personal package of 3 Oreos. Elder Webb receives his package.
Elder Leishman gives a thumbs up for his package. Elder Broadhead tried to get in on the action.
Elder Vukomanovic and Elder Gumban receive their cookies.
More missionaries getting their cookies.
Missionaries enjoying the lunch prepared by Sister Cherry.
Aren't these sisters beautiful?
Elder Stratton, Elder Lake, Elder Frias, Elder _______, Sister Loyola, and Sister Brady all celebrated birthdays in July, August, or September.
Friday evening we went to an outdoor restaurant called Funnside. We put pictures in an earlier blog of our tempura shrimp that we had there. We had the tempura shrimp again along with a grilled tilapia. As we left the restaurant Mother Nature was really putting on a show for us. The lightening was continuous and as impressive as any Fourth of July fireworks display. The lightening, that was mostly cloud to cloud, must have been far off because there was no attendant thunder.
This week was Father's Day weekend. It was good to reminiscence about our fathers as well as to talk to the kids who all wished Tom a Happy Father's Day. Sunday dinner was salmon, baked potato, broccoli, and salad.
On Monday morning we watched three quarters of the final game of the NBA Playoffs live before we headed to the office. We had intended to watch the last quarter when we got home from the office but Elder Broadhead spilled the beans and told us that the Cleveland Cavaliers had made NBA history by winning the title after coming back from being behind by 1-3.
More flu shots were given on Tuesday and Thursday along with us receiving ours on Tuesday.
Tom has committed to learn Tagalog so he is getting up each morning at 5 AM to study for 30 minutes.
We went to the see the new Independence Day movie on Saturday. Many of the same actors that were in the original movie 20 years ago. Hollywood really knows how to blow things up. A good movie.
