March 3

We are in Manila at Sister Jan Jones apartment right now. We flew in yesterday and spent the day with Jan and her sister. The place where they live in Queson City is way different from our experience in Iloilo. Her apartment is on the 30th floor and is a really nice apartment and there is great shopping in the area to walk around. It feels like a large city in America.
We attended church in the Ward where Jan goes and found that we had a lot of connections with people who have friends in Iloilo or served missions there or something else. ( the church makes the world pretty small.)
On Monday we will go to the place where the Temple is and the MTC and office buildings are. We will visit people we know who are there. When the day is over we will go to a Hotel that is close to the airport so that we can head home on Tuesday morning .
We have had so many people who wanted to get with us before we left Iloilo. People wanted to have a dinner for us or give us some gift. We are really going to miss these people. Sometimes I wonder why they are all so nice to us. I feel like if we do not see them again in this life, we will certainly get together with them in the next life, in Heavenly Fathers kingdom. (It is great to have something to look forward to.)
I love you.
Love, Dad
