Sister Salvacion Meniano

Sister Salvacion Meniano passed away on February 14th at St Lukes Hospital, Quezon City of complications of leukemia and chemotherapy. She was 22 years old. These are the only pictures we have of her.

The first is in the hospital with her mother about a week before she died and the second is with her older sister and nephew and her older brother. Sis Meniano has on the brown and blue dress.

She was a sweet young woman and a hard working missionary - having served in the Butuan Philippines Mission. Her family lives in the Leyte Tocloban area. Please keep her family in your prayers.

Christmas in the Philippines

Sorry it has taken so long to get Christmas pictures up - too many other things happening. These are pictures of the lights at the Manila Temple. They were amazing.

These are pictures from some the houses around our neighborhood. There were lights on the walls, fences, hanging from all the trees!

We bought a lantern (called a Parsol) made of capiz shells. They come in many sizes and colors. (Hope we can get it back to the US in one piece...)
