Emily can you remember Maurene, she is so cute, and just returned from her mission 10 days ago! She remembers you and the 3 girls! Her Brother is going to the Salt Lake mission, he may be in Angies area! His name is Mark Madrinan, and he has the cutest smile, and the darkest skin! His dad, Danny, worked at the Mission Home in San Pablo, and would often bring the children while he worked, and we got to know them pretty well! It was good to see them!
!
I work at the MTC tomorrow for the incoming batch, so I will get to see him again It is another Holiday here today, and no one is at the office, so dad worked at home this AM for a while,
Then we ventured out to Green Hills Mall, for the first time since we have been back!, The memories flooded back so much, that I got tears in my eyes, and felt like if I looked around a bit I would find all of you there shopping! It is making me cry now thinking about it! I remember Brooke and Angie looking at pearls, that might look good with a wedding dress, as she was thinking that might be in the plans! We bought a pair of flip flops, because Angie's feet were so swollen, and couldn't fit in any shoes, Judd buying shoes, and all the he shes trying to attack us! Jim setting in awe, and trying to keep track of his family! Then when the 12 came in Nov. and we lost Brad right off the bat, and we all worried about him until Pres. Fabros found him trying to get some pesos, remember Brynley, not feeling so good, and couldn't really enjoy the shopping, while Jessica, Julia, Aimee and Sydnee found levis, shoes and bags! I didn't even know were there! I could see Davis getting a fancy haircut from a he she, Ted, Brad and Jason buying anything the kids wanted! Doug wearing a mask, cause he was sick, and trying to buy his family some stuff! Don't remember what Jordan and Richmond were doing! We all had a buko shake, and that was delicious, dad bought me another one today, and it is still good! I could see Emily, Justin and girls looking at all the stuff , and trying them on, and the ladies feeling Samantha's hair! Travis was a good sport as Susie bought out the shoes and anything else she could find that would work for the boys and 'Ella, and fit in their suit case! Can you remember the constant " Hi Mam - Sir, sit here, what size shoe ," you buy" " Baags" "Pearls, Fresh water pearls, you buy"!,Oh the memories and the fun! It really hasn't changed, except I couldn't find any of you there! BOO HOO!
Dad bought me 4 cute shirts, and 3 pairs of shoes, and a beautiful single black pearl, like the one I lost! I felt pretty spoiled, and we would have bought more, but we needed to get back to the office! Besides we have 2 years to go again! It made me miss all of you though, and reminded me of how grateful I am to have such a wonderful family, that we can make memories with, and have so much fun together! We both miss you all!
Hope all of you made it back to your homes with safety, and found everything well there! We also hope you had a wonderful vacation and a Happy Easter! Dad didn't get creamed eggs over toast this year, we didn't even boil an egg! Sad!
What I have heard of conference is wonderful, we will be going to church on Sunday to hear and watch it with all the other Filipinos! We try to listen to a little bit here and there!
Dad is done with his work, and is ready to go, so we will talk to you all later, or you can e-mail us, we love to get the e-mails! We love you all and pray for you always! Thanks for your support and love!
Love, Mom and Dad
