Father's Day Week!

Father's Day was the beginning of a big week for us! We had a wonderful day of church 

at the Buendia Chapel in the Makati 4th Branch.

We asked our cute security guards to take our picture in our apt. lobby. 

What a handsome Daddy our children have!

Roger requested good old hamburgers for dinner so we did it up right and 

I made our traditional baked beans!

We had so many toppings, it was hard for Roger to wrap his hands around the burger!

He also got a couple of gifts - the favorite? The candy bars of course!

The next day was our Philippines Area Office Devotional. We get to have them every week 

and it is a good start to our day! It was the Public Affair Department's turn to  prepare

 the devotional and Haidi asked us to speak. It was a sweet humbling experience.

That night we had a little celebrations with the DeLaMares before they returned to Utah. 

 Chili's opened a restaurant at Mega Mall so we attended the grand opening! Their chips

 and salsa are still wonderful! We will miss the DeLaMares and their leadership!

 The next day we were sitting at our desks and heard the door open. Then we heard, 

"Hello Coach!" There stood Will Vea from Utah! He was one of Roger's 

football players at Skyline High School. He has been serving in the Philippines and 

will soon be returning home.

 Elder Vea kind of stands out in a crowd here in the Philippines! 

Elder DuPaix, Elder Vea and his companion and Haidi, our cute director!

What a great week! Sun. we were back at church and a family was visiting from Singapore - 

Nathan and Jessica Lawler and their little daughter Sage.  The young man came and 

asked Roger if he knew his Grandmother. He said he had seen a a DuPaix on her Facebook

 page. Roger said he did know Marty and John, his grandparents, but better yet, Roger also

 knew his Great Grandparents and several other family members! Awesome! 

What a small world it is especially in the Church!!!
