everything was simpler then
Calvin and I sat down to figure out this posting stuff when he and Doug stopped by during their vacation. We both had problems previously posting and had since given it up...too complicated. My problem was my dial-up and then Calvin realized that the log-on username was the email address woodlandfamatgmaildotcom, not spelled-out of course. Charlene's had emailed blog instructions long ago but I tend to need more individualized instruction; hand-holding. That email has since been forwarded to others since it is very helpful and has all the pertinent information.
Another one of my blog hesitations is sharing personals. Like this one. It is important to me. but nieces and nephews and the other half of sibling relationships need see/share our family history.
So, if nobody objects, my plans for the future are to post family photos that are important to me; Wesley W. with his baby bottle, Lani and Jer when they lived in Blackfoot, Nate naked in his baby tub, Melissa on the 4-wheeler, and many many more of everyone. So, speak now if you have fears of personal candid photos.

Hello everyone
This week has been a normal and maybe there just normal to me haha. Yesterday we went to a members house and she has been inactive for a while and her husband is a pastor for the born again christian church here. He has been a member for the Iglesia ni cristo, baptist, Ang Simbahan ni Jesucristo ng mga Banal sa mga Huling Araw which is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. He has attended our ward and he said he like it and he read some of the Bible but he said that there are somethings missing from the Bible. Anyways he preached to us alittle and when we started talking he said oh sorry I have to go hahaha. Typical for the Philippines haha. We didn't have any baptisms. We had to change there dates due to some problems. Maybe we will have some this month. Anyways we had zone conference last week and that was good. The food was good haha. A missionary from my batch sa MTC came in. He tore his ACL our last week in the MTC and he stayed there for another 2 months. It was really good to see him. He said to me I cant wait to get to the apartment and sleep haha and I laughed. Cause He wasn't going to sleep when he got home. You put your backs to the side and go out and later that night you get to unpack and relax. I had my member friend Brother Andy order me two belts 1 coconut belt and 1 bamboo belt. There hand made from coconut shells and bamboo trees. There is another belt that i ordered 1 carabao belt. Its kinda like a water buffalo but the use the horns to make belts. Its the thing for amerikanos to do here is to have a belt like that. Anyways We had dinner at a members house last week and there are cockroach's all over the place here. There HUGE to. There fast and if you try to kill it, it flys haha But we were eating and a cockroach was flying around. and they like to crawl up your legs so I have my feet off the ground always. Two weeks ago a cockroach crawled on to my companions shoulder and he flicked it off and then it crawled up his leg and was inside his pants and he was trying to stay calm. He thought it fell but it didn't haha we went back to the apartment and he took off his pants and it fell out and it was dead and twitching haha it was so funny. Anyways thats all the stories I can remember haha so until next week. Mahal kita
