News Item: New Los Angeles Filipino Branch
Displaying 1 - 1 of 1 -- Add News
Mabuhay mga missionary at kaibigan,
The Los Angeles La Crescenta Stake is sponsoring a new Filipino Branch (the Glendale 8th) that meets at 1130 E. Wilson Ave, Glendale, 91206. The branch was founded last December and has approximately 120 members. Expect rapid growth.
I attended their "Pinoy LDS Summer Celebration 2009" tonight. Attendance was over 500, including approximately 50 members of a Filipino Branch in San Diego making the 6 hour round trip to participate. A good portion of the attendees where non-members. And I can honestly attest it was the most enjoyable Church activity I have attended in many years.
Hats off to the Glendale 8th Filipino Branch for a fantastic event and great food!
Those who served in Lucena City under Presidents Taylor or Wennerholm will be pleased to know that I happened to be seated at a table with Joel Ilagan, the former CES Director from Lucena. (Our mutual friend invited both of us to attend without knowing that we are acquainted.) He has since relocated to the greater Los Angeles area and is doing well.
Yet another example of the small world of Mormon-dom.
My best,
Elder Spencer Ririe
