Paradise in the Philipines!

So this may be the longest blog ever, and even then I will have to only put in my favorite pictures. I took as many as I could. Our trip to the Philipines was...truly one of my all time favorite vacations. It could not have been better. So here we go, picture time. So first I have to introduce Kevin's mission president and his wife, Sis. Daquioag (Duke-ee-wog). We stayed 5 nights with them in the mission home. They are amazing and so generous.
So the first day we took toothbrushes and toothpaste to the schools and taught the kids how to brush their teeth. It was way fun, but President thought we should wear these ugly yellow volunteer vests.
Monkeys! So there is a place on the island that if you take bananas and make monkey calls, the monkeys come running! This is President teaching the monkey (can you see its face?) and one climbing up Kevin's pants. They were not shy at all!

There are beautiful rice fields everywhere! They eat a lot of rice, breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are trucks, motorcycles, vans, any vehicle is just loaded with people. Kev and I actually rode on top of a bus holding onto the bars when it was dark! Oh and I had a skirt on too. :)

WATERFALLS! Because I am fascinated by waterfalls, we tried to go to as many as we could. They were so beautiful and just...I can't even find the right words. See for yourself.

I am not too excited about posting myself in a swimsuit, but this one was my favorite, its in the background of the first picture. Isn't it amazing?

This is my good looking husband in the waterfall.

So this is below is called "Balut" and I, for some reason, had to pass "The Test" according to Sis. Daquioag by eating this. It is a developed chicken egg. Can you see the chicken in this picture? I ate the yellow part and it was nasty. Tastes like yucky fish. This is a small island called Lukawon and it was beautiful. We spent the day here and got fried to a crisp. I am still peeling.

Last picture! This was another amazingly beautiful island, Borrocay. It is more popular and touristy. Check out the sunset.

The trip was jam packed with beautiful sights, incredibly generous and humble people, traveling to different islands, and falling in love even more with my husband. I got to meet all his converts, who are basically his second family. I feel like I got to experience more of what his mission was like, and it just really made me love him even more.
