January was a fun month of travel. We and the Rees' flew about 1 hour south to the Island of Palawan. The Mayor found out we were coming and we received the royal treatment. Kind of embarrassing, but I could get used to it. As we got off the plane we four were given shell necklaces with the City logo on it. No, they did not take us directly to the prison, but we did make a stop there. We had some good experiences and made some contacts. We are all about making contacts. We have a new mission presidency member out there and wanted to see how they were surviving. Other then the fact that she is having a hard time finding stuff he will eat, they seemed great. We were able to introduce him to the Mayor and hope they can work together there. Great chance for the church to do some good there. Teach some skills, encourage personal hygiene, proper food prep etc. Very clean Island, very pretty.
