Next Fit Yummy Mummy exercise time & yoga stretches
Shower and breakfast.
Personal scripture study for an hour followed by companion & language study.
That is the start of a usual day but one thing we've learned on our mission is the need to be adaptable because anything can happen on any given day. For instance..
One day you might be on the 7:05 am ferry to Cebu to get fingerprinted for your visa renewal...
(that story needs an entire blog by itself)
Or building study desks for missionaries...
 |
| Elder Caycayon and I make a good team- I measure, he cuts, I glue, he nails, I caulk & putty, he sands, we prime and sand, we paint, he varnishes. |
 |
| 3 stages-puttied/caulked, primed and ready for varnish |
 |
| TADA! (as Sissy would say when everything is all done) |
Other days you might be doing community service...
 |
| The class rooms at the Cortes Central Elementary School were damaged by the earthquake. The Cortes Branch helped to prepare the foundation for new modular classrooms that were being shipped in from the United States. |
 |
| The principal of the school was deeply appreciative of the service given by the Saints of the Cortes Br. |
 |
| Hauling gravel and sand to level out the ground |

The sisters of Cortes Branch |
 |
| These are our "anak" (children). They are young but their spirits have been with Heavenly Father much longer than ours. He kept them close until this particular time, this time of "hastening". We are grateful for their strong testimonies and faith and love serving with them. |
Life as a senior missionary is very diverse, very fulfilling and brings much joy. We are happy to be serving in anyway we can. A day in our life is a day of service.
"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matthew 25:40
May you find joy in serving! Te Atua Pu, Nahigugma mi inyoha!

ReplyDeleteGod bless you for your service to the Lord and all the people you serve on your mission. I am particularly blessed and grateful to you both for your sacrifice, kindness, love and help you have given me in this trial that I must go through. I will always be grateful! If I can serve you in anyway at any time it would be my privilege and honor. I think of you often and miss you. Mahalo nui and much Aloha!
