Another Week- boodle fight




Hi Everybody!




Here's something new for us.  The Filipino sisters call it a Boodlefight (sp?)  This was our family home evening dinner.  They don't use plates or spoons for this type of dinner; they just stand up or sit down and kind of stir the rice with with a vegetable into a ball with their fingers and eat it. They said that this was the kind of dinner the new Philippine president had at his inauguration; so it must be great! It was a different kind of dinner.  Elder Chandler really liked the fried chicken and I liked the fried eggplant.














Here's Friday night family home evening dinner, too!




This photo is out of place but it can't be moved or deleted, so enjoy!



Here are the New Year resolutions that we were given at family home evening.  We think they are worthy to try to do, too.

Also, there wasn't much going on this week so as we were walking home from the bus coming home from the office we took a few photos  of the Mr. Potato Head display they put up at a little mall near our apartment.  The little children here really liked it.















We also took a few photos on one of our nightly walks; this is taken looking across the harbor.

Here's our favorite dragon boat.


Aren't these beautiful flowers that are planted on the temple grounds?  We took this photo as we went to serve in the temple on Tuesday night.


Everyone is getting ready for the big Chinese New Year celebration.

We took these photos when we were going to buy lunch to take back to the office. Aren't the trees beautiful?  We thought it was amazing that they were blooming in January.  We came to find out on closer examination that they aren't real flowers.  The trees had lost their leaves and thousands of these kind of cloth blossoms have been attached to the trees. (The earlier photo was showing a close-up of the attached blossoms.) Below you can see it again.






2017 is the year of the fire rooster so we are seeing many roosters around these days. There are also years for the water rooster, gold rooster and earth rooster in case you are interested in knowing.  It doesn't look like the rooster horoscope is very favorable for those born after Chinese New Year, January 28th which makes them born in the year of the roosters.  If you're interested you can check it out but we don't believe in any of this:  Rooster horoscope  We hope you have a nice weekend, too!
