Just wanted to edit my last message. Anyone else interested in helping is welcome whether they are health professionals or not (teachers, etc.). We will definately need help from current residents of the Philippines. Thanks to those that have already responded. I will be sending out an email shortly. You brother in Christ, Caesar Gonzales |

| medical mission to the Philippines | 03 Feb 2005 |
|
I have been waiting for over six years to send this message. This message is for any alumni and friends who are in the health care field (Doctors, Dentist, PAs, nurses, med students, dental students, etc.). I am going to begin planning a medical mission to the Philippines and would like any of you that are interested to contact me. Send me your name, email, profession, and ideas of things you would like to do/skills you can offer on the trip. Once I have a list together we will begin planning. Take care. caesarg@umich.edu |

| After Mission - Awesome Article | 20 Oct 2004 |
|
I came accross this article on lds.org site. It is entitled, "Bring Your Mission Home with You!" by Elder L. Edward Brown of the Seventy. This is one of the best article I've read regarding after mission life. It's well thought and very practical. Perhaps, sometimes there are moments that you say to yourself, "I wish I felt the constant companionship of the Spirit like I did on my mission." And then you start to rationalize and say, "Well, this is the real world, it's not like my mission anymore." This article brings a different light to this thinking. It's a worthwhile read.

Kumasta na mga kaibigan. Kakabalik lang namin sa Pilipinas. Bumisita kami sa Angeles at saka San Fernando, Pampanga. For those interested, I thought it would be nice to give you a little bit of update for some of you who have not been back for awhile. Ang Bishop ngayon sa Angeles 2nd Ward ay si Bishop Aguilar at ang isang Counselor ay si Brother Timbol. The ward is a lot smaller than before because the ward split into 2 wards, but according to Bishop Aguilar it will be combined back again. Most of the active members that I know are still active ward such as the Salangads, Aguilars, Timbols, Sorianos, Macapagals, Briones and many more. The primary kids have grown so much, they are now in the Young Men and Women and I can hardly recognize them. I visited our old missionary apartment and mission home in Villa Theresa. It brought back a lot of memories. I was never assigned to San Fernando Ward but we had a chance to attend the Sunday School there. The lahar issue is now over. There are still some flooding issues in some parts of San Fernando. San Fernando is slowly being urbanized. There are big shopping malls and restaurants. The Olongapo-Gapan intersection’s has a totally new urban landscape. It even has an overpass. The traffic is a lot heavier comparing 8 years ago. Yes, driving is still crazy. For “vacationers”, Philippines is a good option especially if you know the culture and language. Your money goes a long way. It is not as chaotic as what the media is portraying. Most incidents happen in the far south (i.e. Mindanao). There is a great disparity between the rich and the poor. Poverty is rampant, but humility and warmth is not hard to find as well. When they embrace the gospel, they really embrace it with their whole heart. One great example, is a wonderful lady that Jeff Isom and Brian Ball taught in San Fernando. She is so great. She and her family are very active in the Church. For me, Philippines is “still” a wonderful place in spite of some political turmoil. Filipinos are perhaps one of the most resilient people I’ve known. Many survive and managed to put a smile on their face no matter what the circumstance is. I tried President Christensen’s trick of giving a thumbs up to jeepney passengers in front of our car and IT STILL WORKS. My wife thinks I’m weird. |

| Hey All | 05 Jul 2004 |

Well, I finally got around to remembering about the mission website at a time when I was in front of my computer and hooked up to the internet, so here I am. I just got back from a church history tour back east. We went to a lot of different places, and ended up, quite by accident, at Carthage Jail on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum. It was a great experience, and one that everybody who has the ability to should experience. As for me, as it will state on my profile, I'm still single, and living back in Utah. I have been out of touch with EVERYBODY from the mission for a lot longer than I should have, and for that I apologize, and hope I can renew some old friendships. My e-mail address is iamforrest@earthlink.net for anybody who might want to contact me. Oh, and if anybody is interested in holding a reunion for Presidents Lyon or Christensen up in Farmington in my backyard, let me know, because I would be more than happy to oblige. Just send me an e-mail. |

| Safety for 'kanos in the P.I. | 28 Feb 2004 |
|
Hey Hooooover. Long time no talk to... I know a German national was killed in San Fernando province back in 2002, supposedly by the NPA. Most of the other stuff is much more southward. If I was going back for a visit I wouldn't venture further south than Boracay. Also, if I were in Boracay or someplace like that I'd stay away from the higher priced, higher traffic resorts. Of course, as you may or may not remember, I'm pretty paranoid by nature... Historically Luzon is pretty safe as far as the growing kidnap-for-ransom biz. |

| Travel Safety | 05 Feb 2004 |

Hello all, My wife and I are traveling to the Philippines in May 2004. According to the State Department website and the U.S. Embassy, they warn of kidnappings, killings and such of Americans. I know that the Government and News media outlets overblow all the news. I was wondering if any of you have recently come from the Philippines or are still in the Philippines? And what is the climate towards foreigners there? What is the Church saying about these things? I tend to believe what the Prophet has to say more than the government. While I was serving there I always felt perfectly safe. Of course that was 10 years ago! If any of you could please inform me I would appreciate it! |

Happy New Year to all of the alumni. This is Elder Aguilera. Just wanted to let everyone know that I hope everyone has a great year. This year our batch celebrates 4 years of being home. My wife Angie and I wanted to let everyone know that we recently had our first child, Michael Jr. He's almost four months old now...and he's guwapo kagaya sa tatay. If any of my former comps see this please email me, I'd love to hear from you...and any other missionaries I had the pleasure to serve with. And for the record, we really were and still are the best lookin missionaries in the WORLD! ANG POGI NATIN! P.S. Does anyone know a good way to get in touch with members in the Philippines...like does anyone have a phone number of a District President out there? |
