July Celebrations!

 Happy July 4th! We celebrated with the Little Family as they invited members 
of our Branch to their Apt. We had potluck and injoyed sloppy Joes, baked beans, 
salads, and even apple pie!!!
 Elder and Sis. DuPaix, the Little Family, and Elder and Sis. Bailey
 

Red, White and Blue! We gathered in
 teams to play a trivia game! All those
history classes came in handy as he
 knew almost all the answers!

Mary Joy and Rick Kettering, 
Jeana Hill and Elder DuPaix.
 After our party we went bowling with Elder and Sis. French and Elder and Sis. Bailey.
 Sis. French whipped us good!


 She thought it was so fun that she invited
 Elder and Sis. Jensen to bowl with us 
the next weekend!
 Missionary couples! DuPaix, Bailey, French and Jensen.
 The American Association of the Philippines had a big celebration at the 
International School. It was complete with a car show.  For some strange reason, 
Roger was drawn to the VW's. Ah, the memories!
 Uncle Sam even made an appearance and we parade around the grounds 
with him and the band!
 We met Imelda, a darling woman whose husband is in the US. Roger visited 
with her about the Church and she was very interested to learn more.
 This is a very Filipino thing that I love. There is often a burp towel tucked in the
 back of a baby or child's shirt. I thought it was very clever to always have a towel
 on hand. Later I found that many people of all ages to it to keep the sweat from
 running down their backs. I've found it very helpful to keep a wash 
clothe handy for that very purpose!
 Roger even found a hot dog to celebrate!
 Elder DuPaix with Imelda and her cute son! Don't you love that smile!
 Another wonderful celebration came with the introduction of our new 
Mission President and his family! They came to our FHE to speak to the 
senior missionaries!


Our last celebration came as we went 
with our Humanitarian Missionaries 
to begin a new wheelchair program.
The Statons, DuPaixs and Sis. Bautista!
