Of course their own country.

They are prepared for their dance.

Nicely done!

An elder from Samoa helped them put together this Tongon booth. My favorite.

We have about six or seven missionaries from Tonga.

Spain

The youth presented dances from the various countries.

Elder Ganir just had to get in on the action.

What can you do with some cardboard, bamboo and paint?

The youth in Lipa Stake had an activity with around-the-world theme. They created these booths. I thought they were very nice.

Another overload of the day!

Overload of the day!

This is Melle

She is my favorite seamstress. She has a shop that specializes in NBA sport uniforms. She also sews for me. She can make anything! I love her. So, as I have said before, you design the uniform, any style, any color, any trim and any logo and they do it. How about Ganir family basketball uniforms. I want Dad to get a navy blue with red and white trim uniform. Let me know. It is pretty cheap.

The Quiambaos go home in two weeks

She is seventy two and I am sure he is older. They lived in Salt Lake and Texas with some of their children for five years before coming on their mission. They left from Texas. When they are released on July 14, they are going to an area in the Philippines that they want to live in. He will build a house for them. Some of their children live there too. They are the sweetest people and oh so cute to listen too.

Notice how dark Dad has gotten. The sun is fierce.

Helping Mom with the vital family income.

This is Anthony. He is a faithful church member. He is 16 years old. He is in his family's kitchen helping his mom make rice cakes to sell. His job is to turn the stone, really fast for thirty minutes. This will make enough rice milk for a recipe. Believe it or not, he is crushing uncooked rice grains which produce this rice milk. His mom cooks and his sister sells. They make several recipes a day. They live in the middle of a rice paddy under a bunch of beautiful trees.

Just another pretty sunset!

We have to park across the street.

This is the second chapel that has this sort of sidewalk repair going on. We have to park on a street that is no too safe and walk across the busy street, which is also not too safe. These kind of jobs are all done by hand. No machinery for anything. They even have to break up the cement with a hammer and mix the cement by hand with a shovel and a small bucket. All we can say is that progress is happening.
