Early 4th of July in the Philippines . . .

On Friday June 24th we had an early celebration for the 4th of July. It was our last couples meeting with President and Sister Puzey. We normally have our meetings in the mission home with lunch at the end of the meeting. After the President had finished his interviews with the couples, when we normally head upstairs to the mission home, he informed us that Sister Puzey wanted to cook and so we were having a picnic at a nearby park. It was pouring out side (rainy season) but we all climbed in our cars and drove to the park with a covered pavilion for a short meeting and testimonies from the Crosgroves. (They are going home on the 29th of June.) But before we started the meeting. President Puzey lit the coals for hamburgers (after the meeting). . . a REAL American picnic! We had potato salad, baked beans, mango salsa (Wade raved about it) all the fixin's for burgers and lemonade! We were all in heaven! For dessert she had fixed cupcakes and brownies. We had a wonderful time with our fellow senior couples!
