Calaca Branch Building Groundbreaking April, 2013

President Ambao of the Balayan District Presidency is with 

President Peterson at the Ground Breaking for the Calaca Branch

building.  They have become great friends!

This is some of the congregation at the ground breaking.  They

are such wonderful saints!

Here is another angle of the congregation and you can see all the 

missionaries in the background!

Getting ready for the ceremony, on the stand is the Calaca Branch

President, President Concepcion, the Balayan District President, 

President Cananea, President Peterson and his 2nd counselor,

President Reyes.

This is the lovely choir for the occasion!  They even had a 

keyboard for the accompanist to play for them.

Isn't this a great looking bunch!?

They are headed for the designated spot.  We had a good rain 

right at the end of the presentation which helped soften 

the dirt and made it easier to shovel, dig and turn!

Let the ground breaking begin... From the left, President Peterson,

 next...Secretary to the Mayor, then President Concepcion, 

President Cananea and I am not sure who that is on 

the far right end.

Here are some missionaries taking part in the ground breaking.  

Elders Clarke, Burton (AP), Pascua (AP), Solliano, 

and Thompson.

Yes, even some of us sisters wanted to give it a try.  It was a

rainy day!  Sister Reyes and two other sisters, then Sister Ambao

and Me! President Reyes and President Ambao were kind enough

to bring an umbrella to protect their wives from the rain.

We got Sister Hansen in on the action too!
