Can we just say we love you so much! Love you, your spouses, your kids! Thanks SO much for supporting us on this mission. We think together we all have been doing our part to 'Hasten the Work'. I guess our next and last post will be from the hotel in Clark next Sunday - our mission over- headed for Hong Kong, then home.
Happy/sad. We're feeling tonight kinda like we used to feel after spending the weekend with family, then heading back to college. We still remember as the wheels of the aircraft left the ground in Thailand, tears streaming down Deanna's face. We remember saying goodbye to a little boy outside Moron and drinking Mate' with a family inside the 'Death Star' in Argentina.
As we continue to say our goodbyes this week I'm sure there will be more tears. But first, we still have sooo much to do. We've started another busy transfer week, with gathering departing missionaries - our "batch" - departing workshop, new arrivals orientations, etc. We think we literally will fall onto the airplane exhausted.
Wednesday, after an arduous, 3 hour early morning drive with two missionaries to the Manila MRC, we attended the Manila Temple - we were the witness couple on an endowment session (it was way cool that Sister Cindy Antonio, a former Angeles missionary was in the session with us); then were asked to do a sealing session. A great experience.
Today we took the Richards' to Dapdap to church (we will miss those saints a LOT) and stopped at the Capas Bataan Death March Memorials on the way back. Then picked up a departing sister missionary in Lapaz.
We've been reading in Alma. We leave you with Alma 29:1 'O that I were an angel ...'
Mahal Kita,
Elder and Sister Whiting
