Great Expectations


It's always exciting when we get new Missionaries.  Here are some pictures of new Missionaries headed off to their teaching area with their trainers.












This week we have also been preparing to receive Elder Schmutz, the Area President, and General Authority, who is coming to tour the Mission.  Sister Roberts and I anticipate a spiritual feast for the Missionaries as well as ourselves.  In addition to the conference sessions with the Missionaries, we hope it will be our pleasure to accompany Elder Schmutz and his wife to see the Banaue Rice Terraces.


The Philippine’s celebrate Christmas throughout the ‘ber’ months. September to December we get to listen to Christmas music in the mall and see decorations in the stores, streets, and homes. For a man who already thought the season lasted too long in the States, this will take some getting use too.



A while back one of our security guards was stopped by police and given a citation for driving without a seatbelt.  He was traveling alone and should have been wearing one.  However, I have to laugh every time I see the common sight in the photo below:
