I am feeling better today. Antiobiotics helped along with a probiotic drink the doctor suggested. We went shopping today with another senior missionary couple that kindly took us to a mall called Market Market. It has a grocery store and then four stories high of different shops and a movie theatre. Very modern looking. It also had a big play area for kids. It seems very safe. There are security guards in uniforms at every entrance. We did our grocery shopping and got some incidentals there. Then we went to a Costco type store called S&R. It is lined up just like a Costco. You find many things there quite like a Costco with some Kirkland brand items. Not everything like Costco but comparable. We decided to become a member. We bought a vegetable steamer with three tiers and it works great. We also purchased a blender so we will try that tomorrow with mangoes. We are determined to eat healthy and trim our waist lines down a bit. We did a lot of feasting over the past 4 to 6 months. Enough of that.
Tomorrow we will travel out to the provinces for church. I will post pictures of that on Monday. The people are very friendly. The common practice there is to shake everyone's hand before the meeting starts. About 97% of the service is in Tagalog, then they throw in a few English words. For Sunday School and Relief Society/Priesthood meeting it is the same, but we get the jest of it. It is an hour and a half to ride out to the provinces and you feel like you are on Mr. Toad's wild ride. It is really an adventure. Sunday is a long day for us.
Thanks to those who left comments on the blog. At least I know who is reading it.
