Meet our new neighbors!
The house on the left, behind the ugly cinder block fence, is our house.The grasses, three days ago, on this fenced off lot, was as tall as the cinder block fence.
I HAVE A GREAT STORY TO GO WITH THIS ROOSTER PICTURE, BUT EVERYTIME I TRY TO POST IT SOMETHING GOES WRONG. SO, I GUESS I AM NOT GOING TO POST THE STORY.
What a great place!
When we all come to district conferences in our mission, we need to spend the night close by. As of now, the closest, decent place was an hour away......until now! The district pres. wife found this for us and she gave us her discount, which is the same as we pay now at the other place. We couldn't believe our eyes, that this was here, about 3 kilometers from the church!
We three missionaries with an administrator over student affairs.
We were with a total of about 16 full-time missionaries and branch missionaries. We divided into groups of 4 and taught different classes all day long. We were very well received. This women wanted Elder Ganir and I to meet the head administrator of the University. He was very kind and interesting. He pulled out two books that he has read and uses. Both were Steven Covey's books of highly effective people and habits.
You just never know who your are going to meet and what they have read. He even said he has our "Bible", referring to the Book of Mormon. We invited him to listen to our message and then found out that his neighbor is one of the branch presidents in the area. Small, but great world.
We went to Batangas State University and taught the Word of Wisdom again.
Glad this was an English speaking zone. Of course this is the Philippines and signs mean nothing.
Don't you just love this white, interesting flower?
