Matt in the Philippines

Matt is on a 12 day trip to the Philippines working on water projects. If you look close at this one, you'll see a church in the background. It really is beautiful! He is sooo HOT! It's about 80+ degrees. Don't you feel sorry for him? Well, at least one of us is enjoying warmth and sunshine! (Yes, I know Monica, we just need to come to Arizona and we can have it ALL the time!) For now we will have to enjoy it through pictures.--Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
This is Matt with one of the stake presidents standing in front of one of the water projects built by the church. He is loving his experience. They are staying in a small town that has only 2 restaurants that they trust eating at. He says that the portions are SO tiny! It's amazing how we are so used to American portions! This is funny coming from a guy who really doesn't eat big portions anyway. At least he doesn't have to worry about gaining any weight!

We miss him here at home but we are so happy that he is having amazing experiences meeting and learning about such wonderful people!

Matt's job must be so rewarding! What great opportunities to be with the people and REALLY see a country. Going on a site seeing tour wouldn't compare.

Matt is in his element this is the perfect job for him, I'm so happy for him and for his experiences, he is really growing, and glowing. I guess Jill this makes it a little easier seeing how happy he is at being a single mom for almost two weeks.
