Tagaytay

Today we decided to venture out from our home to a place called Tagaytay. This was a two hour drive but well worth it. This is an interesting lake with a volcano. We stopped at a restaurant had a nice buffet and right when we came in they started their entertainment. We had this view of the lake. For those who love horseback riding, this is the place!

Award Ceremony

We were invited to attend an award ceremony for the teams who won the championship at the office. They play basketball and volleyball. I love that they get along so well and know how to have a good time.

Visit of Bishop Davies to the Philippines

Bishop Davies made the announcement for the new DTA on August 3rd in the Area Office. We were staying in the same hotel he was staying and had dinner with him and another fellow from the temple department who came with him.

In the meeting he explain that when a DTA is considered it is taken to the First Presidency for approval. He said that it is a calling more than a job. He spoke as well as the Tapps, the Hanies who are also new and us. We bore our testimonies and the meeting came to a close.

 In the afternoon Pauline took me to see where she usually shops and I got a few beautiful sets of pearls. I came to find out pearls if a big industry here!
