Two couples left us this week, the Thelers and the Jensens. We didn't know the Jensen's as well. They were the Self Reliance Center missionaries, and started their mission being headquartered over in Manila proper. A couple of months ago, a portion of our ward building at Buendia was remade into a new SRC, and they moved their operations over there, just across the parking lot from the office. From then on, we saw much more of them. The Thelers were in the office, he as Mission Financial Secretary and she as Mission Secretary.

Since we knew they would be going and not be replaced, our assignment changed to include their duties with ours. David is now Financial Secretary, and I am the Mission Secretary. We try to check apartments two days a week now, and work in the office the other three days, and go look at new apartments as needed.
Thelers took a few days to go up to the Banaue Rice Terraces, and returned Wednesday afternoon. that evening we had our formal farewell dinner for them and the Jensens at the Mission Home.
The remainder of the evening was spent in sharing testimonies, and how they had been strengthened by missions, lots of hugs and farewells.
