Week 69--October 17-22, 2016
Tom wants to keep a pictorial history of his cucumber plants. So each week we will take a new photo to show the progress of his plants. This photo was taken on October 22, 2016.
It is cookie time for the returning of check vouchers and BIR forms. Elder Ricafort is all smiles as he receives his package.
Oreo cookies are a great bribe to get the missionaries to return the forms. SJDM Zone and SJ North Zone were at Zone Interviews on Thursday. Elder Harrington expressed his gratitude to the two zones as all of their forms were returned. They all had ear to ear smiles as they received their cookies.
Outdoor meat market. This is not USDA approved marketing. This is NOT where we buy our meat.
On Saturday, October 22, three 8-year olds were baptized in our Ward. Prince Randolf Villaester with his family. His father is the bishop of the Ward.
Charlnick Dieparine with his family.
Darence Dunganun with his family. The only boy among four sisters.
Each of the boys shared their testimony after the baptisms were completed.
We had a typhoon moving through the area on Sunday, October 17. When we arrived at the church we learned that we were under a Signal 2 warning and only Sacrament meeting would be held. There weren't many at church. As it turned out the storm passed past north of us, and we didn't receive much in the way of wind or rain.
We attended a District meeting in the Fairview Zone on Tuesday. Elder Antonio gave the lesson on weaknesses, and how they help us to be humble.
We had another typhoon move through the area on Thursday. This one was classified as a Super Typhoon. Again we were blessed that it went across the north end of the island of Luzon. However, Elder and Sister Broadhead were in San Ildefonso, one of the northern most cities in our mission, moving elders, and they said that there was lots rain and wind. Garnalee saw several posts on Facebook from former missionaries who live in the area where the storm passed and they reported that it was the worst storm they had ever experienced.
It was a very busy but blessing filled week. What a great way to spend retirement!
