December 25, 2014 - Merry Christmas!!

Thank you for following us on this unique experience to the Philippines and supporting us with your love and concerns.  Sister Lasher and I have had a most interesting experience with our mission call, and on December 12, 2014, we left the Philippines to return to our home in Rigby, Idaho, for a reassignment.  We met so many wonderful people in the Philippines and we pay particular tribute to our mission president and his wife, President and Sister Barrientos, who were so kind and considerate of our concerns.  They, along with the missionaries in the Laoag, Philippines Mission will always be close to our hearts.  We are grateful to each person we met and associated with in Laoag and in Manilla and we thank them for their kindness and their assistance in helping us return to Idaho.  

We also express our deep appreciation to the IFR, Elder Ferrin, who treated our concerns with a kindness that I have rarely experienced.  The timely fashion and the kindness he extended to us will be the standard I will use the rest of my life!

We are now gratefully and anxiously awaiting our reassignment in the mission field.  We hope to hear from our Church Leaders within the next few weeks on our new field of labor.  We are so happy to be able to serve in the mission field and we are looking forward to many choice and rich experiences.  We again express our appreciation to those of you who have followed us in this blog and will always be grateful for the love and support we have felt.

Salamat pu!!!
