Beatiful Inside and Out - by AnaLee

The people that I met made the experience the most meaningful to me. I wish I had more pictures with all the wonderful loving people that I met there. I was able to spend quite a bit of time in the temple and felt so loved by association from those who have worked with my parents.  We also enjoyed watching the rebroadcast of General Conference with one of the Cebu stakes. I think mom was trying to introduce me to everyone she knew there, and so many of them were all in one building!! I met a lot of people, including a sister named Analeeza. (I think I can remember her name.)

I found the people there to be guapa/guapo, very beautiful, both inside and out. It came through in their smiles and kind words.  They were always smiling!
Auntie Lea! Such a sweet lady. She works at the desk in the patron housing building. She was always smiling and waved to me as we came and went. She has a daughter serving a mission right now in the Philippines.

On the ends are Karl and Jasmine 
These are a couple of the kids that mom and dad have adopted since they've been there. Jazmine is currently taking the missionary discussions. We had a great dinner with them my last night. The sister missionaries stopped by to have something to eat.  I was having a great conversation with Karl about the word of wisdom and he wanted to know more, so we asked the sisters if they wanted to teach him the discussion on that subject. They committed him to live the word of wisdom and he accepted. Great people!!
