We have a few random pictures and a video we'd like to share with you.  Hope you enjoy them.

 

Just look at that happy face.  The Office Elders have found the way to Jerry's heart - Krispy Creme Donuts will do the trick every time, but they have to come all the way from Manila!

 

 

 

We followed this Tricee down the highway that has 3 pigs in the back along with it's human cargo. 

 

 

All highway markings are painted by hand.  Check out the bucket of white paint and the paint brush in the hand of the 2nd painter.

 

We attended a baptism of a 13 year old girl, who was converted by these two missionaries, Elder Davis and Elder Datu, who are Assistants to the Mission President.

 

 

 

This is the baptism, with Elder Datu performing the ordinance.

 

This is her bearing her testimony - in Tagalog, of course.  You can see the happy countenance in her face

 

 

 

Every chair in the Philippines that we have found in the chapels have this printed on the back.  Sometimes the translation loses or gains something.

 

 

Following is a video that Jerry took as we decided to stop along the road in the only National Forest that we get to drive through.  It's refreshing, in that there are no visible dwellings for at least 25 kilometers. 

 

 

 

Below is a video showing how the Super Typhoon, Haiyan (Yolanda - local name for it) and it's affect on us here in the Naga Mission. The video was taken from one of the windows in our apartment.  Needless to say, the typhoon missed us except for some wind and rain.  The missionaries were put on total "lockdown" on the 8th of November, when the brunt of the storm was to hit us.  Everyone survived very well.

 



 

We are keeping busy and the time is going quickly. 

 

Thanks for all your prayers and concerns at the time of the typhoon.

 

Love,

The Campbells
