Welcome family and Friends!

We are serving our second mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This time we are serving in Cebu City in the Philippines. We will be working in the new Cebu temple that was recently completed. This mission will be completely different than our first mission, with lots of new experiences. A different language is spoken here then was spoken in our other mission. Our first mission blog is still available to view. If you haven't seen it, let me know and I'll send you the link.

The corner stone has been layed.

Here is President and Sister Anderson at the dedication.

We turned around and right there was our last mission president and his wife..President and Sister Anderson..it was a nice suprise

They wanted their picture taken with me. I was dripping wet!

Now they are swinging the candles

Wow!

Now the candle flame is in a piece of fabric.

On the head!!!!

The next few pictures are of a dance that Dad said he use to do. It is with an open flame in a jar and yes it is in an enclosed building. Watch!

The next twently photos are of the cultural event done by the youth in the southern Philippines

A closer view!

The opening of the cultural event the night before the dedication. President Monson is at the pulpit. Elders Oaks and Eyring are to his left.

The drivers had to go to this driving school first...Ha, ha..joke lang (as they say here)

They are now leaving to bring him safely to the temple.

This line of vehicles are preparing to go to the Cebu airport to pick up President Monson

And the night is upon us.
