This is the hunger man dinner size lizard.

Anybody want to buy a lizard to eat for dinner?


These little boys are always on the side of the road at the same place selling lizards. They are still alive. The front arms are tied to the back of the lizard so they can not move. I didn't ask how much they are, but I think they are about 300P, which is now about $7.50. Check out the next picture to see what the dads are selling. They catch these in the jungle behind them.

Aren't these flowers beautiful?


The red ones are so amazing. I have never seen flowers like this before. Enlarge the photo and look at the red ones. They are not Carnations.

Another great family ready to go home from church. He promised me that he drives really slow when he has his family with him. The Santos family.

This is his family. They have three children and one on the way. The other boy went home with grandma before we took this picture.

Now our world is getting even smaller.


This is a picture of Elder Ganir (of course) and President Sarminto. He is the District President for Siniloan District. When he saw dad, he couldn't believe his eyes, he said he walked like Aries and talked like Aries and acted like Aries. Aries was his AP in the Quezon City Mission 15 years ago. He remembers him well. He is a wonderful District President. He exlamplifies very good leadership. We had a great time meeting him.

It's a small world sometimes.


The Samoan elder in the baptisimal clothes, Elder Hunt, is Aunty Joyce's sister's nephew by marriage. Tau Hunkin is his uncle. The elder behind him, Elder Tueller, is from Rexburg Idaho and is Jared Wadsworth best friend. Randy is Jared's uncle.

The mother and three children were baptised today. The husband was baptised a couple of months ago. The little quy is their grandson.


We were the invited speakers at their baptism. They changed their date just so we could be there. It was so sweet. We had never met them before, but they wanted us there and they wanted us to speak. We were the privledged ones. They were all so happy to be a fully baptised family.

I always have to blog some sort of traffic that we see. Today we see a messanger. Notice the paper rolled up in his shirt. It works.

We woke up today and had to drive to a Zone Conference. It was a perfectly beautiful day. This is the first day that there was not a cloud in the sky.
