Well, we have been her just over 4 weeks now. Time goes by so quickly. We have another batch of missionaries preparing to leave for the mission field in a couple of days. It is a great experience to work with them and get to know them. Some of them Sister Chantry gets to  know better than others, especially when they come into the infirmary often! The infirmary is often busy when they have a break from their classes. 
Today we took a couple of new photos. Here is Sister Chantry with the MTC nurse, Sister Hillier from Las Vegas. We work well together and are becoming good friends. 

This is where the missionaries get dropped off when they enter the MTC. 

This is just as you enter the MTC office. 

We LOVE our mission !!!!

Last Saturday we went with several other senior missionary couples to visit some historical places. We went to the Clark Museum (the old US Air Force Base) and watched a great 4D movie about it. Then we went into the museum and looked at the exhibits.

Then we drove to Capas, the final site of the Bataan death march. Then we went to lunch and then to the San Guillermo de Aquitania church.This church was knocekd down by an earthquake and volcano eruptions survived 2. It is buried in 15-20 feet of Lahar (volcanic mudflow). Access is now through what used to be a center window of the old choir loft on the 2nd floor. 

We fall into bed exhausted every night, but it is wonderful to be so tired from serving. 
Today 109 new missionaries came here. They are from several different countries. We love hearing the different accents and seeing the excitement in the eyes of these young Sisters and Elders.
I am learning more about being a nurse's assistant. LOTS to do and learn! Elder Chantry is an assistant to Pres. Trask and enjoying every minute of it.
We plan to take some photos this upcoming week to share here. For now, here are some photos from our 1st day here.
