An MLC full of lots of good discussion and training:








Christmas comes early in the Philippines!  Here are the lovely decorations at the mall.  Starting in September, Christmas music is played throughout the grocery stores and my mom said they even sing Christmas hymns at church already.



Some beautiful pictures of the beach which is only two blocks from the mission home!




One Sunday, they drove to Luna to attend church.  My mom said these cute ladies wanted their picture taken with her.  She says she looks like a giant next to them.  They were so excited my mom and dad had come to their ward. 


Not to mention the beautiful drive to Luna:



And around came Zone Conferences again!  For this Zone Conference they focused on getting along with companions and teaching more effectively with the Book of Mormon.  Elder Ioka (one of the assistants) likes to take the group pictures for my mom, when she gets her phone back she has a lot of surprise selfies of him and other missionaries! They are her favorite pictures.
