We have to have big pockets because these are...

the keys to our home:

Every door has at least two locks and then we have a sliding door that has a pad lock on it. If someone wants to get in they had better be prepared.

Our Home

Elder Cooley sweeping the street:


Across the street:

The street where we live, we don't usually have the brama in the street but you never know from one day to the next what will be wandering around. The red and cream at the end of the street is the chapel so we have a short distance to walk. I tell people that we had to move to Legaspi to able to live close enough to walk to church. They always laugh but it is true.
