We've been hearing about Tuao ever since we arrived. It's one hour north of Tuguegarao, making it our farthest north part of the mission. It's a little town known for a famous bakery that makes Pan degan. That is a yeast roll that is filled with a red jelly (like raspberry--maybe?). Anyway some elders have actually put on lots of weight there because they visit the bakery when the rolls are hot out of the oven. They only cost 2.5 pesos a piece so for $1.00 U.S. you could get 24 rolls. We've had elders serving there bring them to the mission home on a 4 hour bus ride. They are good but nothing like the fresh ones.
We were able to attend Elder Maxfield and Elder Biatings baptismal service for a darling young lady (12 years old)and visit the bakery! President Carlos was visiting with some of the men from the congregation since they will soon be needing a new branch president--the current one is moving to Canada.
The people there were so sweet and friendly. We loved our visit!
