The Church

The Church here in the Philippines was begun because of the testimony and tenacity of a sister.  Her husband and she had been stationed here during the war, and remained to help afterward.  She worked very hard to get the Church here, and due to her efforts, a chapel was built here in the 60's.  That chapel was the Buendia Chapel, built out in a large, grassy area far from much else.  Today, that is the chapel next to the mission office, and the one that we attend. Notice the change in surroundings.
The main gate to the Buendia building and the mission office, off of H.V. Dela Costa, a very busy street.

The chapel. To the right you can see another curb; that is by the mission office which shares the parking lot with the chapel.

Trying to give a little scale.

Another view, with Elder Northrup helping to give the setting, no longer a pastoral one!

And a close-up,, just for fun.
