Then there was the "race"!!! The half marathon of Layton (13.1 miles)

Mike left me in the dust (by 8 minutes).

We both did great!! Mike placed 10th in his age group and believe it or not

I won first place in mine (of course there were only two of us and the other

guy ran with a crutch). We are both very sore!!! At least we didn't get suckered into the Bionic hologram electronic body balancer!

Balloon Festival in Albuquerque

2010-10-10T19:53:00.000-07:00

This was one of the first balloons to launch. At about 6:45 AM.

I always wanted to see this Fiesta, and now I have. It was all I ever thought it would be. It's one of those experiences that you just have to be there to fully enjoy. You can't capture it on camera.

Thanks Ari and Hayley for a great time.

Baptism day! Elder Lubrique and Cristobal.

Baptizees: Victoria Deo, Toto Deo, Caloy Danganan.

I baptized Caloy and the Elder baptized the children.

Brother Caloy is one of the many overseas workers, who only get to visit family once a year for a month (sometimes once in two years), but now his contract is for two months and one month home. How does the song go? Count your many blessings!!

Hazlette Argente's baptism. W/ Elders Baricar and Aungon. Others are in the Naic Branch and I had to baptize them because they didn't have any more dry clothes for another baptizer.

This is part of the Argente family. They were baptized first in April and then the two sons and one daughter were baptized in May.

Ran Cunanan is the Young Men's leader. He did the choreography for the dance and music. All the young girls want their picture taken with him, and not just in our Branch. The lucky girl here is Ashley. They love to have their picture taken. [Ran is preparing for a mission, his brother is currently on a mission in Naga, Philippines ]

We had the kids practice three days a week for ten hours a day.

Moods went from elated to deflated, some tears and arguments, but when they presented, they did great. Won awards and won the District competition.
