Friday, November 23, 2012. Gobble, Gobble and a little more. It is currently Friday afternoon in the Philippines and my family and friends 'back home' have just completed my favorite holiday of the year-THANKSGIVING! I love the gatherings, the food, the spirit of gratitude, the food, the traditions. the food, and did I mention, THE FOOD? Yes, I am a foodie! Elder Nay and Elder Lasay on the porch of their new apartment. Happy Elders for sure! And it was really good. They served us a 'soup' that I cann...

http://shanermission.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 26, 2012. So this is Christmas. Have you ever had a song stuck in your head for days and as much as you have tried, you just can't quit singing it? Orlando was baptized on December 21st, and on the 23rd, he was given the Aaronic Priesthood after he was confirmed a member of the church. She now has a 'righteous priesthood holder' as her companion and she is thrilled! Orlando, Sionie, Elder Saragnaya and Elder Dagal at. Sister Agno is so thrilled to have a fresh orange for Christmas.

Mission Possible: June 2013
http://shanermission.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Home again home again jiggity jig. It has been six weeks since we returned to 'our other life' and I cannot say the transition has been terribly smooth for me. Coming home to family was a wonderful experience-the adults have not changed significantly but the children.wow! I went to the temple. To that question I have one resounding answer:. There is NOTHING in this world that I would ever change about serving a mission-NOTHING! Our view from the top of the escalator. Last spring R...

Monday, February 25, 2013. Chic Boy and more apartment checks.two necessities! Following our meeting we always go to lunch and often end up in the same restaurant as the other missionaries. Chic Boy is one of our favorites and the Elders and Sisters always like it because they give 'unlimited' rice. We found them all gathered around and we enjoyed a lunch with our favorite Zone! Elder Reher, Elder Ballentos and Elder Landeed. We had to tease Elder Dagal who is always counting his money! This darling red-...

Mission Possible: May 2012
http://shanermission.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Music, fabric and food.plus a little love! My mother raised me with the good old musicals of the 40's and 50's.she LOVED June Allyson, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Lena Horne and all of those great actors from that era. I grew to love music from the cradle and when I was five years old, my parents bought me my first piano! There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of her and silently thank her for my love of music! Introduce them to music and help them gain the skill to pl...

Tuesday, May 28, 2013. The beginning of the end. Ever since I was a little girl, I have heard the saying 'all good things must come to an end' and I never could have imagined the impact that saying would have. Kayleen at our 'farewell' July 31, 2011. Now I am here to tell you that having 10 days to finalize two years worth of experiences, friendships, responsibilities and STUFF is a HUGE task! Family #1- - -. Family #2- - -. Family #3- - - - - -. While hunting for a new and upgraded apartment for the sis...

Friday, March 29, 2013. Happy Birthday to the Relief Society. I tell my good husband that this is the land of vinyl banners! Everywhere we look, they are strung in trees, across fences, on the eaves of roof lines and on free standing poles. We are living in a land of plastic! All Relief Society activities in the Philippines involve three things:. Dancing and music [plus Karaoke]. Lots of laughter and fun. After the dance 'competition' [no winners or losers, just all having fun], they have a lunch. I ...

Thursday, March 22, 2012. An awesome Zone Meeting, Happy Birthday Relief Society and a funeral. Every month we have a Zone Meeting instead of a District Meeting.what is the difference you ask? The 'Parking Lot Kids'. Many in her district have actually been able to create items and sell them, earning much needed income for their families. I know, it sounds dumb but the purses we have made are amazing! Sister Gaspar modelling my green purse and 'juice box' hat. My display-purses and bags made from recycled...

Sunday, April 22, 2012. Health care, cleaning day and two beautiful women's smiles. This will come into play in a minute] There was one FILTHY CR [bathroom] that had no door and one toilet. While we were there, a 'nurse' came in wearing a mask to check on her patient. Everyone in the room stops and after observing, knows everything that is happening to that particular person. The air was stifling hot and not a breath of wind. Her hubby appeared and the orders were confirmed.she could go home! Elder Cuart...
