I will try to fix this later...This is Clint at a beautiful falls on Mindoro.
Beautiful ponds we found on Mindoro as we traveled...It was right across the street from the stone caribou and waterfalls. 
Shopping in Puerta Galera with the Packers and Campbells.  You can tell from this picture that Elder Packer is having a great time, huh? :-) He is pictured with Sister Packer and Sister Campbell.
Elder Campbell looks back at his wife as we are leaving the shopping village at the White Beach of Mindoro, Puerta Galera.  The salesmen are gathered around her hoping to talk her into the purchases of their merchandise...jewelry, etc.

Beach in Philippines with Clint Dec., 2011

We took a boat to a small white sand beach to spend a few hours with Clint.  Another beautiful day!
This is Sister Escalona and Sister Grow.  They were the missionaries in the area that knew how to get us to this beach.  They were great sports and they are very good missionaries!

The lighting was a little too bright, but you can get the picture!  A nice little beach!

Checking it out!  Not sure if he wants to swim with the baby jellyfish!

Enjoying his fresh coconut milk!?

On the boat ride to the island! 
It took us about an hour to get there by this small motor boat.

Clint playing frisbee with the a couple of the young men that brought us on the boat.
Isn't this beautiful!
This is one side of the cave we went in to explore.
Here are some of the young men that helped with our transportation (on the boat) to the island.  They played frisbee, volleyball and even a game we call, "Spit in the Eye"...which is a fun category game we used to play with the kids growing up!  They were good sports and a lot of fun!
The man in the center is the owner and driver of the boat.  They are all members of the branch there.

Golfing in The Philippines! Dec. 27, 2011


It's such a beautiful day in the Philippines!  A cool breeze the whole day.  Clint & Dad along with Elder Packer were enjoying the beautiful surroundings!  Sister Packer and I enjoyed watching them from our own Golf cart.  I thought it was great fun...like ride go-carts around the path!
This is a beautiful golf course.  Picture taking doesn't do it justice.  It is so much prettier in person!
As you can tell by the palm trees, it is a bit windy.  However, it was beautiful weather...the coolest I have ever been in the Philippines San Pablo Mission!  (Baguio, of course, was a bit cooler than that, but that was out of our mission area)

Here they are...Clint, Dad, and Elder Packer with their caddy girls!  They marked their balls, "found" their balls, brought them their clubs and wiped them clean.  Those ladies knew the course well.  They could tell them exactly how far to the greens, etc.  Yeah, they had it really easy!  It sure was fun though.

Trying to help a fellow out!

One of Clint's beautiful shots!

The great long putt!

Such concentration!!

I think Clint is enjoying himself!

It was a great day!
