Matt has a best friend since he was about 12-13 years old. They went through the teenage years together, prepared and served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, went through the dating scene, went on a cruise together and now are both married and with kids. And when they get together it as if no time as past since they were last together, and they act like they acted when they were half their age! Ryan’s wife served a mission for the LDS church in Taiwan and with us now living in Manila, the end of February was a perfect opportunity for them to visit her mission and visit us in the Philippines.

The four of us had fun eating out and just being together
Enjoying a PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) game
Sawyer family ready for Pagsanjan Falls. It rained heavily the day before, so we were only able to go 1/3 of the way, but it was still an enjoyable trip.
Lounging around at a hotel; the boys wanted to be comfortable!
View of Taal Volcano. We weren’t able to go to the volcano because of the rains, but it was still a nice view once the raining stopped
Spent the day on Corrigedor Island. On the way back our ferry rescued a fisherman that was treading water for a few hours.
The boys went scuba diving at Eagle’s Point
We hung out at home talking a lot and catching up. Mason really liked hanging out with the Sawyer family and continues to pray for them
