The Philippine Elections are being held Monday May 10th and notably a very big occasion. Posters are just plastered everywhere and on everything. They are on the fences, buildings, jeepneys and trikes. It is quite a mess to clean up so the church has organized all the wards, branches and stakes to help with the cleanup. It shows the community that the LDS church is community minded and willing to help. The Public Affairs missionaries, Elder and Sister Durfey are watching over this project today in the basement of the office where we usually park, however for today the garage is being used to pack up the Vests that say Mormon Helping Hands to wear when members are out taking down the old election posters and cleaning things up.
Each ward will get a certain number vests in two different sizes for their volunteers. I (Sister Burningham) helped sort out the packing labels with the Durfeys so that the vests can be packed and then put into boxes to send out to the local meeting houses for distribution. The cleanup project will be held on Tuesday May 11th.
Sister Durfey and the Bishop and his wife from Tapong Ward help the youth sort out sizes of vests to distribute to the Meeting Houses in the Manila area and surrounding provinces.
Bishop's wife is instructing the youth on what to do.
Sister Durfey agreed to model one of the vests for me even though she said "I am not supposed to wear this." I told her I would take the fall for her. It is only for the picture.
