The Lakers Have Arrived

We received a fantastic gift in the form of two very eager senior missionaries. The Lakers come to us from a little town outside of Provo, Utah. He was just released as a stake president and she is just the sweetest mom, grandma, mother, wife, friend you could ever meet. We already love the Lakers. They are currently receiving training as our new office couple. The Breeses head home in the near future, but before they go President wanted to give them ample time to train their replacements and spend time in Angadanan, the branch where they have served for the past almost 2 years.

Besides offices duties, the Lakers are offering leader and member support in Naguilian, a precious little branch. They love it and are bringing an optimistic and upbeat spirit to the congregation.

 The sister missionaries are the first to greet the Lakers on their first Sunday.

 The  Naguilian Chapel.

 The Lakers jumped right in and started visiting with the members.

The side yard of the church is full of roosters and chickens.Elder and Sister Laker love to garden and are already considering a ward garden utilizing part of the side yard.

 The Lakers have a fan here in the Philippines! This little guy is walking around with their name on his shirt!
