All in a weeks work.

I know I promised pictures and they will come soon but we have been extraordinarily busy with interviewing 6 security agencies here in Cebu. We narrowed it down to one agency with another as back up. We gave each agency our folder with Church overview materials in it with a video and other things. Everyone except one agency was excited to receive it. All wanted to go through the open house when open house is available. Here in Cebu Elder Burningham and myself and Brother Pratt from Salt Lake City and our prospective supervisor Lott Revilla revisited the one agency we think can supply us with 6 guards with 4 of our own from Manila. Yesterday we took a representative from the one agency and the rest of us to the Cebu Temple Complex to walk around to find out where camera were and where the guards should be etc. During our tour of the complex we went inside the nearly completed temple. A lot of furniture is in place along with pictures. It is very elegant and above standard from anything we have seen around here. Both Lott and our rep from the Agency both said that they have NEVER seen anything like it. Lott said...whew this is expensive. Lorenzo our rep from the agency said he is just amazed at the fine workmanship and the feeling it has. There was no music from radios inside or trash or food. All food is eaten outside and trash is immediately taken out.

Today Sunday we went to Church here in Cebu and we enjoyed it more as English was mostly spoken. We took a Taxi there and then a Jeepney back. All of us wanted to ride in a Jeepney at least once. And for the record. They drive better than Elder Burningham. I would ride in one any day over Elder Burningham. Brother Pratt took a picture of us in the Jeepney and he will email me a picture of it so I can post on the blog here.

I am starting to feel more comfortable with being here. I admit that I felt pretty strange being the only white person here but now finding it much more comfortable and people friendly.

I hope pictures will be on here in the next week or so..
Love, E/S Burningham
