Today was our first Sunday in the Philippines. Elder and Sister Tenney picked us up at 7:30 am to take us to church with them to the Morong Branch. Morong is east of Quezon City. It was an hour drive from our hotel. We got up there with time to spare so Elder Tenney kept driving past the church to show us more of the town. We stopped by a rice field and saw several people planting rice. Along the way to and from church we were able to see lots of Jeepneys and tricycles. The tricycles are actually motorcycles with side cars that generally have a roof over them. We saw as many as four or five people on one of these tricycles. The Jeepneys are painted in very bright colors and usually have some theme for their jeepney. I saw one that had a picture of Christ on it. While we were driving we also saw lots of tin roofed shacks where many of the people live. It was an eye opening experience.

Interesting stuff, Dad. Keep it coming.
