September 12th - 19th
Binghams in the Philippines It was so much fun to meet Jodi & Jim Nichols as they picked up our missionary - Elder Nichols from his mission last week. (Jodi & I are like 3rd cousins on the Keetch line!) We enjoyed dinner with them at the Rustic Restaurant sharing Filipino food including my favorite green mango shakes with them. What sweet joy to witness the reuniting of missionary and parents! Especially when it is a really super missionary that has loved his mission. Elder Labasa's parents, brother & cousins came to pick him up at the mission home as he completed his mission. How sweet it was to get to know them a little bit. Every Filipino has beautiful stories of conversion and love for the gospel. The entire mission is going to miss Elder Labasa and he is a wiz at anything technical! The Hazeldines (mom, dad & 3 sisters) came from Australia to pick up Sister Hazeldine from her mission. We really enjoyed getting to know ...
