Monday, August 30, 2004 Well today was Elder Sangco’s last district meeting. He is really sad to be finished with his mission and is afraid that he will become inactive. I told him just to always go to the temple…
Elder Sangco says goodbye
Saturday, August 28, 2004 We got OYMs done today but that’s about all we did. Elder Sangco is already starting to miss the mission and just wanted to say goodbye to everyone. I was really hoping that we would get…
Elder Sangco’s Birthday!
