This picture was taken from the Temple steps looking out at the Patron Housing for the temple in the white building to the right. Starbucks is next,a bank , a cleaners, a specialized food store,a cafe, a grocery store and a few other speciality stores. As you can see the High Rises in the distance. The drive up for the temple in front and you can't see the road in front of the stores because of the temple fence.

There is a small building in front of Starbucks that is actually the guard station for the temple, itis a gated area like many here.

There is a purpose for showing you the other side of the street because we will be leaving the temple now because we have been called by the Area President ,Pres. Edwards to a new mission on special asignment to figuring out boundries in the Philippines Stakes which is in bad need here to continue on the building of the church. The church is growing so fast here they are struggling to keep up, so we have been released as Temple Missionaries and put into Membership Statistical Records working directly under President Edwards. President Edwards is one of the Seventy and is over all of Asia. We will be expected to travel to all the 86 Stakes in the Philippines. I am sure we will see some interesting places, we will try to take more pictures and put them on the blog. With changing Missions we also have to make some changes even though we are just going across the street to the
Church Office Building we are in a different mission so we will have to move to a High Rise Apartment 28 floors up. There are other missionaries living there also in other apartments. We have loved the temple mission but apparently the Lord had a surprise for us. President Edwards says just consider this as your second mission, not many people get two in one. I think my husband has been preparing for this mission for a long time just from all the experiences he has had in many things . I just hope we get much help from our Father in Heaven. This work has only been done in one other place and that is in Africa. Ithas been so hard to leave our temple friends but we are already making many new ones. Life is not easy, it seems we just get comfortable and we are asked to move on but we do LOVE our Father in Heaven and our Savior Jesus Christ. We owe all we have and become to them.

This is the Church Office Building that we work in across the street from the temple, we work with many wonderful people. The people in our office had a belated birthday party for my husband the first day we were there with birthday cake , fruit drink with many fresh fruits and noodle. The people in our office are Philippin es and they would party every day if they could because they love parties. We have fun with them anyway.

I am tired and need to go to bed so I will sign off this adventure couple and retire . We love you all and to all a GOOD NIGHT

Love Ma & Pa Kemp
