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!
