The Night

I think I might have

taken a million pictures. I love this family, and I am not

sure how long it will be until we get to see them again.

These are some pre-baptism shots, they were so happy and 

excited for their special evening.

How many Filipinos can you fit in a Taxi?

As awesome as this night was for Jeanie and her family, I feel like it was every bit

as wonderful to me! I felt like a gained a true sister. While sitting at her baptism I had

the impression that this was exactly why we came to the Philippines. Leaving this time around

was a lot easier than the first. This wonderful woman served my family for seven months and loved

my kids like her own. I could not ask for a better friend or "helper"! Thanks a million times over, Jeanie.

By the end of our night, I was a frazzled, jet lagged, crying mess.

I am so glad for the Langheims (our expat/mormon friends) that

helped  see the missionaries through to Jeanie and her

family. They came to the baptism, then offered to take me

home (in a totally normal car, that smelled good).  We had dinner at

a local fish market.

A perfect way to end the day.
