Remembering A Birthday On This Statutory Holiday!

Today first and foremost, is the 86th birthday of Elder Bodily's mother.
I guess you could say we celebrated by taking care of the coordinating for
 the 5th Statutory Holiday we have had responsibility for.
We weren't sure what the turnout would be since it is the 3rd day of the Chinese New Year.  As it turned out, there were more than 110 patrons, who were primarily the Filipino sisters and very few men.  However, we did have a few locals, and two sisters came to receive their own endowment.  That always makes the day extra special.
Wilma Galcon and Lota Directo are both in our branch, and it was good to have them there today. Sister Galcon has been set apart as a special ordinance worker, and she is always so dependable and helpful.
We can say the same about Sister Directo too.

We took a minute or two, to get a photo before getting on our way.
Sister Chan and her infectious smile.  She does a superb job of keeping the Baptistry running smoothly, and assisting the sisters who come to the temple for the first time. 
We sure appreciated Sister Rancie.  She was well organized as the Initiatory Coordinator.
Couldn't pass up the chance to get a photo of her in her walking shoes.  She walks to and from the temple almost every time, no matter what the weather may be. 
She sets a good example for the rest of us.

It has been a good day at the temple, as it always is.

We hope it has been a happy and special day for Mom Bodily.
We will personally give her a kiss and hug on her next birthday!
