We flew in to Bacolod, Philippines from Manila on Sunday morning. Our new friend Fleur was there to meet us, along with the rest of the team.
Geoff was planning to go to Cadiz, which is about 2 hours in the oppisite direction from Kabankalan. He is doing a mission there in Feburary and wanted to check on a couple of things. He was also planning on attending church, so Kevin and I went along. I have to admit, it was the first and probably the only time we have attended sacrament meeting in shorts and t-shirts.
Like I said the drive was about 2 hours there and 4 hours back this is what a lot of the roads looked like. The little tricycles, busses, and people. Lots and lots of people!
There were also lots of sugar cane fields, rice fields and water buffalo. Hopefully a better picture to come!
More new friends. These were some of the kids at church. A little shy at first. But warmed up quickly!
These are the nurses that will be helping this week "Mitch" "Kling-Kling", Julie aka LL Cool J, and Fleur.
The Philippine people are so kind and happy. This is Geoff & I with Grace. She made dinner for us on Sunday night. We were supposed to be there about 7, but didn't make it until 8:30 because after our Sunday Drive we still had to set up the OR.More posts to come!

Sounds like a great adventure and a wonderful thing you guys are able to experience. Our bishops' son, Colton Esplin is serving in the Philippines Naga mission there. Not sure where that is from where you are. Have fun and keep us updated!
