Farewell Talks and Manila Apartment

Yesterday we gave our "non-farewell" talks at church.  Anna talked about service and Dale talked about being a successful missionary.  We didn't have as much time for speaking as expected, so we had to shorten our talks while we were giving them.  This is not unusual in the Olathe First Ward.  There were two young women youth speakers who both did a good job on their talks, then Anna spoke.  She was followed by a violin duet presented by two young women who played "I Am a Child of God."  It was great!  Dale was the concluding speaker.

 
 
We received some information about where we will be staying in Manila.  We will be living in a 38 story high-rise building about three blocks from the waterfront and only two blocks from the American Embassy.  We feel good about this location and we are especially pleased to see the air-conditioning units in the apartment.
 

 
 
We leave next Monday, July 22nd, to start our mission.
