GetEnvelope3D(Geometry self) void OGR_G_GetEnvelope3D(OGRGeometryH hGeom, OGREnvelope3D *psEnvelope) Computes and returns the bounding envelope (3D) for this geometry in the passed psEnvelope structure. This function is the same as the CPP method OGRGeometry::getEnvelope(). Parameters: ----------- hGeom: handle of the geometry to get envelope from. psEnvelope: the structure in which to place the results. OGR 1.9.0 |
Centroid(Geometry self) -> Geometry int OGR_G_Centroid(OGRGeometryH hGeom, OGRGeometryH hCentroidPoint) Compute the geometry centroid. The centroid location is applied to the passed in OGRPoint object. The centroid is not necessarily within the geometry. This method relates to the SFCOM ISurface::get_Centroid() method however the current implementation based on GEOS can operate on other geometry types such as multipoint, linestring, geometrycollection such as multipolygons. OGC SF SQL 1.1 defines the operation for surfaces (polygons). SQL/MM-Part 3 defines the operation for surfaces and multisurfaces (multipolygons). This function is the same as the C++ method OGRGeometry::Centroid(). This function is built on the GEOS library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the GEOS library, this function will always fail, issuing a CPLE_NotSupported error. OGRERR_NONE on success or OGRERR_FAILURE on error. |
PointOnSurface(Geometry self) -> Geometry OGRGeometryH OGR_G_PointOnSurface(OGRGeometryH hGeom) Returns a point guaranteed to lie on the surface. This method relates to the SFCOM ISurface::get_PointOnSurface() method however the current implementation based on GEOS can operate on other geometry types than the types that are supported by SQL/MM-Part 3 : surfaces (polygons) and multisurfaces (multipolygons). This method is built on the GEOS library, check it for the definition of the geometry operation. If OGR is built without the GEOS library, this method will always fail, issuing a CPLE_NotSupported error. Parameters: ----------- hGeom: the geometry to operate on. a point guaranteed to lie on the surface or NULL if an error occurred. OGR 1.10 |
WkbSize(Geometry self) -> size_t int OGR_G_WkbSize(OGRGeometryH hGeom) Returns size of related binary representation. This function returns the exact number of bytes required to hold the well known binary representation of this geometry object. Its computation may be slightly expensive for complex geometries. This function relates to the SFCOM IWks::WkbSize() method. This function is the same as the CPP method OGRGeometry::WkbSize(). Parameters: ----------- hGeom: handle on the geometry to get the binary size from. size of binary representation in bytes. |

SetCoordinateDimension(Geometry self, int dimension) void OGR_G_SetCoordinateDimension(OGRGeometryH hGeom, int nNewDimension) Set the coordinate dimension. This method sets the explicit coordinate dimension. Setting the coordinate dimension of a geometry to 2 should zero out any existing Z values. Setting the dimension of a geometry collection, a compound curve, a polygon, etc. will affect the children geometries. This will also remove the M dimension if present before this call. Deprecated use OGR_G_Set3D() or OGR_G_SetMeasured(). Parameters: ----------- hGeom: handle on the geometry to set the dimension of the coordinates. nNewDimension: New coordinate dimension value, either 2 or 3. |
Set3D(Geometry self, int b3D) void OGR_G_Set3D(OGRGeometryH hGeom, int bIs3D) Add or remove the Z coordinate dimension. This method adds or removes the explicit Z coordinate dimension. Removing the Z coordinate dimension of a geometry will remove any existing Z values.

GetDimension(Geometry self) -> int int OGR_G_GetDimension(OGRGeometryH hGeom) Get the dimension of this geometry. This function corresponds to the SFCOM IGeometry::GetDimension() method. It indicates the dimension of the geometry, but does not indicate the dimension of the underlying space (as indicated by OGR_G_GetCoordinateDimension() function). This function is the same as the CPP method OGRGeometry::getDimension(). Parameters: ----------- hGeom: handle on the geometry to get the dimension from. 0 for points, 1 for lines and 2 for surfaces. |
Transform(Geometry self, CoordinateTransformation trans) -> OGRErr Transform(Geometry self, GeomTransformer transformer) -> Geometry OGRErr OGR_G_Transform(OGRGeometryH hGeom, OGRCoordinateTransformationH hTransform) Apply arbitrary coordinate transformation to geometry. This function will transform the coordinates of a geometry from their current spatial reference system to a new target spatial reference system. Normally this means reprojecting the vectors, but it could include datum shifts, and changes of units. Note that this function does not require that the geometry already have a spatial reference system. It will be assumed that they can be treated as having the source spatial reference system of the OGRCoordinateTransformation object, and the actual SRS of the geometry will be ignored. On successful completion the output OGRSpatialReference of the OGRCoordinateTransformation will be assigned to the geometry. This function is the same as the CPP method OGRGeometry::transform. Parameters: ----------- hGeom: handle on the geometry to apply the transform to. hTransform: handle on the transformation to apply. OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code. |

Suspect on FBI list bags two years imprisonment for $150,000 fraud
by Nneoma BENSONAdvertisement
ON Tuesday the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, ( EFCC), Sokoto Zonal office secured the conviction of one Emmanuel Adedeji Oluwatosin, whose name was on the wanted list of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, (FBI).
According to a statement by the EFCC, Oluwatosin was convicted before Justice M S. Sifawa of the Sokoto State High court sitting in Sokoto and prosecuted on one count charge bordering on Internet fraud to the tune of $150, 000.
The charge reads, “that you Adedeji Emmanuel Oluwatosin, sometime between January and July 2019 at Sokoto within the jurisdiction of the Sokoto State High Court did steal the sum of $150, 000 through wire funds transfer from multiple foreign victims by fraudulent intrusion into their retirement accounts domiciled in United States of America via internet…
“…and transferred the said sums into fraudulent business accounts created by you and you withdrew the said funds through ATM Cards and cashier cheques and you thereby committed the offence of Theft contrary to Section 274 of the Sokoto State Penal Code Law 2019 and punishable under Section 275 of the same Law”.
The statement noted that upon arraignment, Oluwatosin pleaded guilty to the charge.
It said, in view of the defendant’s plea, the prosecuting counsel, Musa. Mela Gwani asked the court to convict and sentence the defendant.

However, the statement noted that the defence counsel, Shamsu A. Dauda, pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy as his client was a first time offender who has become remorseful.
It said, Dauda told the court that the convict is ready to restitute the victims by forfeiting his home in Kaduna and two Mercedes Benz cars (Models C550e and C450) to the victims.
Justice Sifawa, thereafter convicted and sentenced the defendant to two (2) years imprisonment with an option of N2 million fine and ordered the convict to restitute the victims by forfeiting the proceeds of the said crime:
“A residential apartment situated at No17/19 Seamans Street, Maigero, Kaduna State and two Mercedes Benz Models C550e and C450 respectively through Asset Forfeiture Unit of the EFCC for disposal and return of the proceeds to the victims of the offence through the US Legal Attaché in Nigeria,” the paper said.
The statement said Oluwatosin’s journey to prison started on the 29th of August when he was arrested in Kaduna at Unguwan Maigero in a luxury apartment, following intelligence by FBI on his involvement in internet scams.
“Items recovered from the residence included two cars (Mercedes Benz C550e, Mercedes Benz C450), an iPhone, laptops, a modem and SIM cards,” the statement said.

We went walking this morning at 6:30AM, though it was over cast. We took our umbrellas with us, but didn’t need them because it didn’t start raining until we had got back to the car. We worked on letters most of the day. Mae cut my hair this afternoon and I dyed her hair for her. This evening we visited the Lozano family and gave them a lesson using the video of “Mans Search for Happiness”. We sang a song and challenged them to read daily from the Book of Mormon and to attend meetings next Sunday. We visited with our neighbor across the street when we came home. We found that he has a Masters Degree from Cornell University as he grew up in the United States. He now works for the Philippine Government. We didn’t think he worked for we always see him at home taking care of household responsibilities. His wife is a professor at C. L. S. U.. Their names are Rhept and Elvira Daza and their children are Zyrille, Xenobia, Xabiena (Viera), Xerxes (Xees). Very interesting.

We enjoyed a walk this morning although I was quite stiff for some reason. We prepared breakfast and had Elder Ragasa and Elder Clam over. They helped us with Tagalog, and then as we were visiting they told us that some of the Hymns are in Tagalog in the Gospel Principles book. We made an index of them and put in the book so we could find and learn the Hymns in Tagalog. We went out to Guimba where we went with Elder Caspe and Elder Bondad to visit the Doria family. While we were visiting, Sister Browning noticed a large open sore on the left ankle of one of the younger children. It was very swollen and infected. When she asked about it, she found that medication had been prescribed, but in visiting with the Elders, they said that the family did not have the money to purchase the medication. I asked the Elders about welfare help, and they said that the branch president didn’t feel that he could use the Fast Offerings, as the father is not active in the Church. We are concerned that this child needs medication right away. While we were visiting with these children, the older of the two sons, with the disease, asked Sister Browning if he could make a request. She said, “Certainly” and he asked if it would be possible for them to go to Jolly Bees. The closest Jolly Bees would be in San Jose. We sent a e-mail to President Brimhall asking him if it would be appropriate for Sister Browning and myself to rent a vehicle that could take the mother, the two boys and the two younger siblings, along with ourselves and treat them to dinner at Jolly Bees?  We feel that we brought some joy and attention into their lives which they are in need of. We gave them a Tagalog “Book of Mormon Stories” for Children and they were excited as we went through some of the stories with them. We also visited two other investigator families, who the Elders are teaching. The first family was the father and sister of a new convert and they are now taking the lessons and said they would come to church next Sunday. The second family is a young married couple with a three month old baby, and they are very excited about the lessons they are being taught by these two fine missionaries. We really enjoyed the opportunity to share some scriptures, personal experiences and bear our testimonies. It was an exciting, spiritual afternoon. This evening we went to an appointment with the Gallcitas, but they weren’t home. We visited with their son-in-law, daughter and one year old grandson for a few minutes, and then came home. We were on the computer until 11:30 PM with e-mails and my journal before getting to bed.
Wednesday, September 03, 2003
I got up at 5:30 AM but Mae was too tired so I went back to sleep also. That seemed to put us behind all day. Roger Silvia came over and we tried to correct some problems on the computer, which we did, but it took a lot of time that I didn’t seem to have. He didn’t leave until after 4PM. I guess the main reason he came by was to borrow some money. I gave him P200 that will help some. That is hard to know what to do. I spent the rest of the evening until 8:30PM working on files on the computer. Mae said I needed to e-mail Shellie because she will be going on trip tomorrow. The pressures are great at times and I don’t seem to handle it to well. We went to the Corpus’s this evening and gave them some thoughts on studying the scriptures.

We went to Tarlac this morning and had breakfast at McDonald’s. President and Sister Clark met us there at 8:30AM and we went to the Camiline & St. Ignicia Zone Conference. It was presided over by President Brimhall. We really enjoyed the instructions and the special spirit that the meeting carried. After the meeting the Zone leaders had arranged for a nice dinner to be served. We then went to Camiline and saw the house that the Maharry’s will be living in. It is very nice, but bigger than I would want. Camiline is a beautiful area and I’m sure the Maharry’s will enjoy it. We got home at 6:30PM and had planned on having President Nuque and his family over to watch “The Other Side of Heaven”, but Sister Nuque didn’t feel well, so we rescheduled the evening for next week. We were late getting to bed because we worked on getting some reports ready on the computer.
Friday, September 05, 2003
Mae got up and baked cookies for the Elders. She let me sleep in. Brother Roger Silvia stopped by and returned ˝ of what he borrowed yesterday. I told him he didn’t need to for we need his help on the computer and I want to pay him for his time. He was walking much better and said that he had tried the exercises that we had told him about and it had really helped. We attended our District meeting and enjoyed being with the Elders. When Sister Browning announced that there were cookies at the end of the meeting, I couldn’t believe how fast the cookies could go. President Apoa called me and needs another overhead projector and screen and wants to use ours. After District meeting we came home and got it and took it over to San Jose. While in San Jose we stopped at Jolly Bee’s and were able to make arrangements to bring the Doria family to Jolly Bee’s for lunch next Thursday. Jolly Bee’s was very accommodating and are furnishing every thing, if we understood right, free of charge, just to help this family. The young lady that was helping us was named Sugar and I told her she has just as sweet as her name. We also arranged for Romel to drive the van to bring the family over and back. That will cost us P1,000. We came back to the church house and gave the Elders assigned to the Guimba 1st Branch some medication to put on one of the younger children’s leg where he has a sore. We gave Elder Ragasa and Elder Bondad a ride to the Elders house. As we got there, Elder Ragasa said they had some mail for us, so I turned across the street to get it, and turned right in front of an on coming car. I don’t know how, except that the Lord just protected us, that we didn’t get hit broad side. I just didn’t see that car coming. It sure scarred us and the ones in the other car also. After eating lunch we went down to pay our phone bill. We also stopped at the Santos and set our schedule a little later for tomorrow. We came home and took a nap. We decided to visit the Silvia’s, as Roger said we sure help their family to have a better spirit, when we come. We got home as the phone was ringing. We thought it might be Gajonera’s as we had invited them over this evening, but they couldn’t make it tonight. I typed a letter to President and Sister Clark’s so asking for his help in getting us some ink cartridges and a price on a power point projector. Mae made some corrections to the Branch’s organizational charts. I entered my journal entries for the past couple of days. We were again late going to bed.
Saturday, September 06, 2003
As we were late getting to bed last night, we didn’t get up early and go walking. Brother & Sister Dator came and washed our car. I worked all morning trying to get the Home Teaching records to print out for Guimba 2nd Branch, but could not figure it out. I became very frustrated over it and finally gave up and took a ˝ hr. nap before I got ready and left to meet at President Nieto’s house, where President Nuque, President Mercado and Brother Dator met to go to Cabanatuan for a Leadership Training. I felt bad as all of them had to ride in President Nuque’s jeepnie while I rode by myself. To make things worse, they picked up three more on the way before we left town. I followed them as I did not know the way to the chapel in Cabanatuan. President Mercado asked me to attend the training for Auditors. Elder Funk from Roy, Utah was the instructor. It was good for a review, but Mae and I had figured most of it out from the Church Handbook of Instructions, when we had been asked by President Apoa to train the San Jose auditors. After the training we stopped at Jolly Bee’s and got something to eat. It was after 6PM when I got home. Mae had Sister Carolyn Kaye Rubio visiting, when I got there. After she left, we went to the Santo’s and showed the DVD of “Finding Faith In Christ”. We were there a while longer discussing how we can build our Faith in Christ. When we got home, Mae then got on the computer and the inter-net to write to our family and to reply to Chelci’s last letter. She didn’t get through until almost mid-night.
Sunday, September 07, 2003
We left for Guimba at 7:30AM, that we could attend the meetings at Guimba 3rd Branch. On the way out we saw where a rice mill had dumped their chaff from the rice cleaning. There were a dozen or more people out their sifting the chaff for left over rice, that they might have food. The rice harvest is just getting started for the second crop and again farmers are putting the rice on the highway so it can dry. As you travel, you have to go around it or drive over it. They are allowed to use ˝ of the highway as a drying area. We enjoyed visiting the Guimba 3rd Branch and attending their meetings. I took the time to bear my testimony in Testimony meeting and to make a correction as to the question I had been asked to answer last Saturday. We came home and Mae took a nap while I worked on the computer, then I took a nap while Mae worked on the computer. We attended Sacrament meeting at the Munoz 2nd Branch this afternoon and really enjoyed it. This evening we invited the Elders over for dinner. We then went to Brother & Sister Trabalno’s and had a nice visit with them. We came away very humbled at the condition that they live under. They make a very small income, but pay their fast offerings and tithing first. She said that there are many baggers that come to their door every day and she tries to give something but they don’t have much to give. He said that his neighbors don’t like them as they won’t drink and smoke with them. They have two boys and said that they were their greatest achievement and joy. We had a prayer with them and left very humbled. We have never experienced the poverty and trials that these people are going through. We wish we could give them greater hope, but hope the messages of the restored gospel helps.

We got up and went walking this morning at the college. After breakfast and studding the scriptures we went to Roger Silvia’s and visited just a minute with Heidi to see if Roger could come over Wednesday evening and help us on the computer. We then went to San Jose to do our shopping, pay our water bill and get some office supplies. We also stopped at the San Jose Stake center to get our screen, but it was locked in the satellite control room and no one there had a key to it. While grocery shopping we again realized what it is to be a minority. Four school girls probably 8 to 10 years old, were curious about Americans and wanted to ask me several questions. Of course I couldn’t speak Tagalog and they wouldn’t speak English so communication didn’t go very well.  Mae didn’t help because she just left me to handle the situation by myself. We didn’t get back home until 1PM and Marlyn had dinner already for us. After eating we did some studying for this evening’s presentation. I printed off a picture of the Corpus family and e-mailed a picture of the Elders in the Santa Ignacia Zone. We received a e-mail from Roy and Linda. I took a nap before we went visiting this evening. We asked Marlyn if she would accompany us as we went to visit the Lozeno’s, which she did and it helped a lot.
I really wish that I knew if we are doing much good. We haven’t got any of our families to attend church regularly yet, maybe the Corpus’s and we did have the Santo’s come out once, we haven’t made much progress with Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching and we haven’t felt much success in Leadership Training. In Roy’s letter he indicated that Julianna and her companion have had several baptisms. I know that just baptizing is not the goal, but it is at least something to gage what you are accomplishing. I am just becoming more confused as to what to expect out of this people????
Tuesday, September 09, 2003
We got up and went walking this morning. We invited Elder Clam and Elder Ragasa over for breakfast. I prepared biscuits and gravy for them which were something new for them. The biscuits were ok, but I have made much better. For one thing the oven wasn’t hot enough and I should have raised the rack higher. We enjoy the Elders and they try to help us with the Tagalog language, but I think that Elder Ragasa enjoys staying to long. I guess that with the great Elders we have had in the past, we expect more out of them. I wrote an e-mail to my siblings and sent it off. We worked on our presentation for this evening, tomorrow morning, Friday morning and tried to reach the Elders in Cabanatuan about a presentation there on Saturday. This evening we visited the Galletes family. When we got there, the parents were not there. We tried to talk to their 13 year old son Vince, and he did very well helping us to understand that they would be there in a few minutes. They came shortly after and we enjoyed showing them the DVD “Building Faith in Christ”. We followed up with some thoughts about the film and it went well. Again, it would sure be better if we could speak Tagalog. As we were about to leave Brother Galletes asked me, for his son, as to how much our laptop computer cost. We told him about $2000 and he figured it to equal 8 months wages for him. They are not in the poor class of people, but they don’t have much. That is about what our grocery budget is for a month.
Wednesday, September 10, 2003
We have been busy all day, but I not sure just where the day has gone. We did go over to the Corpus’s and gave them a presentation on reading the scriptures. We sure enjoy this family and hope they will remain active. Brother Roger Silvia came over about 5PM and helped me on the computer. We still can’t figure out what has happened to our Home Teaching merge program. This is a real concern for us. We worked on a workshop presentation for Friday morning part of the day. I took a nap and Mae wrote her family a letter. We got two e-mails from Sandi and were happy to hear that she has got a new job with the high school, just across the road and will have full benefits. Scott also sent us a cute e-mail. We sure like to hear from our family!
Thursday, September 11, 2003
We got up and walked this morning at the college, came home and had breakfast, read our scriptures and prepared for our workshop for tomorrow in District Meeting.
We had such a neat experience today that I had to sit right down and share with you.  Armando is 13 and Fernan is 11. They are cute boys, I think we sent a picture to you. We will send another one of the party we had at “Jolly Bees” with them today. I’m sure we told you about scheduling a van to take them in and meeting with “Sugar” who is over the party room and schedules the parties at Jolly Bees. She talked with her manager and we got the impression that Jolly Bees was going to pay for everything and put on a wonderful party for the boys, their family and friends. Then when we were telling President Nuque about it, he said that he was sure they wouldn’t do that, but that she was probably meaning Jolly Bees would provide prizes for the games, the mascots, balloons, etc. So we planned on paying for the food. It turned out that we had 14 people there. Dad and I, the two Elders who serve in their area, a friend of theirs who is a recently returned missionary and so cute, Romel the driver of our van, the two boys, their parents, married sister with her two little girls, and two younger brothers. The boys and other children were so excited. The father usually works practically around the clock to provide for his family so we didn’t think he would be there, but he was – so we were excited to meet him and have him there with all his family.
I think I told you last time that the youngest boy, age 3, had a terrible sore on his ankle. I gave the Elders some bacterial ointment, out of our first aid kit, to give to the mother and have her apply it to the sore. She did and the sore was better today. I was happy for that. Anyway, we met the Elders and the Van at a waiting shed as we enter Guimba. We then traveled to the home of the Doria family. They were all ready and excited. The father carried Armando and the returned missionary carried Fernan. We loaded them into the van and headed out to San Jose which is about 45 minutes away. Jolly Bees was ready for us and had us go into the party room and brought out fried chicken, rice & gravy and drinks for everyone. It was delicious. They then brought out balloons for all the children. After we had all finished eating, the two mascots came out – Jolly Bee and Katie. They wore those big outfits which the Jazz and other sports team’s mascots use, only these were a bee and a girl. They were so cute – dancing, shaking hands with everyone, etc. They stayed with us practically the entire time and played the games with us. They had dad and I play the games also. The two boys, of course, could not join in the games, but they enjoyed watching. Sugar, was the MC and was so cute. She was excellent. They gave out lots of prizes and we had a wonderful time. We were there from 1:30 to almost 4:00p.m. As it was winding down, Sugar asked me if I would give an inspirational thought to the boys and handed me the microphone.  I handed Dad the mike and he also said a few words, after which, Sugar expressed her feelings and told about the experience she had had trying to call us to confirm our reservations. She had not asked for our names, but had written down our last names from our missionary badges, had not asked for our telephone number or address. After we left that day, she realized she needed to ask us some more questions, but didn’t know how to reach us. She called information being almost certain that they would not be able to help her because they always ask for the full name. She told the operator that she only knew that our name was “Browing” and was sure we lived in Munoz. The operator told her that she had no one with that name and wondered if it could be spelled differently. She then thought of Browning and the operator said “yes, I have a Browning in Munoz”. She was able to call us and felt the Lord had guided her to find us. She told Dad when he answered the phone that day, that she thought that a small miracle had just taken place and explained how she had gotten our number. As we left Jolly Bees today, Sugar asked us for our cell phone number and we gave it to her. We had the Elders with us as there was not enough room in the van for them, so we were on our way out to Guimba when we received a text message from Sugar.  Lyk u!” We responded back saying “yes, but he used a Sugar angel like you!” She responded back again saying “Tank u very much, its so nice knwing dat in ds world dr r stil gr8 pipol extndng deir help lyk u, tank u, n bee happy!” Sugar frm jollibee. I think you can all figure out this tex message as everyone abbreviates when doing a text message. Anyway, she’s really special and her boss is also. She wanted us to meet him and we wanted to also so we could thank him, but he had stepped out for a few minutes. We will just send him a card thanking him as Jolly Bees paid for everything. We didn’t have to pay for any of the food, etc. Sugar said her and her boss were hoping someone would do something like this and they were excited to put on this party for us, and they thanked dad and I for coming to them. It was so much fun to see these boys and their family having such a good time. It was a great experience.
When we got home we expected the Nuque family to come this evening. I went over to CVC in San Jose and bought a few items that we needed. We then ate some dinner and got things ready. We popped a large bowl of pop corn. When it was after 7PM and they hadn’t come, Mae called. President Nuque had gone to Manila on a job interview and hadn’t got back, so they can’t make it. I checked the e-mail for a form from Elder Karen at the mission office, but it hadn’t come. There was however some e-mails from our family, so we took them off and read them. We then transferred the pictures we had taken today to the computer files. Time flies and it is bed time, although Mae wants to get on the computer for a while.

Mae didn’t come to bed until almost 1 AM, so we didn’t get up and go walking this morning. I woke concerned about the District Presidency and the way that is going, also concerned about President Nuque interviewing for work in Manila. We commented about our prayers and we are getting so that we have so much to pray about that it doesn’t take long until we are praying for ˝ hr for all the people and their problems. We attended District meeting and gave a 45 minute workshop on “Obedience” that went quite well. President Brimhall and the Assistants to the President came for house checks today. We invited them to come to our home before returning to Angeles for dinner. They said that would be great as they were planning to visit our home also. They came about 3PM and we really enjoyed the few minutes we had to visit with them. We prepared for the Nieto’s to come this evening to watch the movie “The Other Side of Heaven”, but they didn’t come, so we watched it our self. Before doing so I transplanted one of our plants out front that is getting too big for the pot that it is in. We were after 10PM getting to bed, as we stayed up to write a Happy Birthday e-mail to David.
Saturday, September 13, 2003
As I was saying my prayers this morning, I felt that our presentation for today was wrong. I talked to Mae about it and we went to work and redid our outline. We finished just in time to leave for Cabanatuan, without time to even go through it on a practice run. We got there about 12 noon and were met by a counselor in the Stake Presidency. He said we would wait until 2 PM to start as the Sisters were to meet at 1 PM but they would stay to meet with the Priesthood. We could take as much time as we needed. The presentation went well and after we had some questions. A Bishop came back in the building and informed us that we had a flat tire on the car. He took my key and he and another Brother changed the tire for us. We stopped at McDonald’s for something to eat before coming home. We went over to the Santo’s and held a Family Home Evening with them that went fair. The father likes us to come to visit, and we think the mother would like to be active, but we wonder if we are doing any good with them or not. When we got home we cut up some meat and browned it for making grave for tomorrow. President and Sister Clark will be coming for diner with us. I sure love my companion and appreciate her patients with me.
Sunday, September 14, 2003
We got up and left early for Guimba. We picked up Elder Clam and Elder Ragasa on the way, and went out so we could attend the Branch Conference at Guimba 2nd Branch. President and Sister Clark were there and we enjoyed being with them. After the meetings, we invited President and Sister Clark to have dinner with us. President Clark and I discussed the reports that Elder Karen has been trying to send to me, but for some reason their e-mails are not coming through to us. They stayed until 4PM before leaving to return to the mission home. We worked all evening getting the District Survey Reports made up. We were just finishing and had planned on going visiting with Elder Clam and Elder Ragasa when they came. They said that they had received a call from President Brimhall who told them he wanted the District Survey reports to him tonight. We did not have all the reports updated so while Mae entered the data, the Elders and I went out to get it. We had a recent update on President Gajonera branch so left Mae with that. We went to President Nieto’s but had to wait for him to return from a birthday party. We left Mae with that information to enter, and we went to Guimba. Elder Clam was familiar with the area so we were able to find the homes of President Cabuyaban and Brother Sagon, but we were too late to go to Guimba 3rd Branch, so came home. Mae and I worked until almost 1AM before getting the reports sent to the mission home.
Monday, September 15, 2003
I woke before 5AM with some concerns about the church records, so got up and studied the Church Hand Book of Instructions until Mae got up about 7AM. We talked to President Clark several times today about the reports we had sent and they tried to send us a copy of the form President Brimhall would like us to use, but they were unsuccessful at getting it through to us. Mae worked on the CMIS from Guimba 3rd Branch most of the afternoon. We received an e-mail from David that really excited us, as he told us that they are expecting their third child in May of next year. Becky also sent us a cute e-mail. We feel so blessed with our family. We went on an appointment this evening with the Lorenzo family. We asked Marlyn to accompany us as an interpreter and sure enjoyed her help. We showed the DVD of “Finding Faith in Christ”. It went well. We probably got the message through, but we feel the families enjoy and feel better with someone that knows the language. They told Marlyn that they had planned on going to meetings on Sunday but their boss called and wanted them to stay home as he was coming down to visit them. We have got to get over to Brother Bustos, who is their boss, and get him reactivated or something. We sure seem to keep busy and didn’t get to bed until 9:30PM.
Tuesday, September 16, 2003
I woke up at 2:00 a.m. and was unable to go back to sleep thinking about the work here in the mission, so got the computer out and went over the records we had input from the Branch CMIS lists, calculating the percentage of unknown families in each branch. Mae woke at 4:00 and we had to take a sponge bath as we had no water. We weren’t sure why we had no water pressure, but at 5:00 a.m., it was back on.  By 5:30 we were on our way to Angeles. We stopped in Tarlac and got some breakfast aned I realized I hadn’t taken the money with us. So when we got to Clark, we drew out 6,000 pecos from the ATM machine at the bank. We went to the mission office and visited with the Clarks and then I met with Elder Karen and we tried to figure out the problems we’re having with our Merge Files and the CMIS data file. Mae looked at the supplies in the mission office and bought 2 song books, 2 more Children’s Book of Mormon Stories in Tagalog, and 2 triple combinations. Mae and Sister Clark then went shopping for Elder and Sister Maharry as they will be arriving here on the 25th. She bought some groceries for us. When they returned, I left the computer with Elder Karen to work on. The four of us left for Angeles. We dropped our car off at a tire repair shop to fix the spare tire and the left rear tire. We went to lunch at the Fortune Restaurant at which Elder and Sister Clark paid the bill. The food was Chinese and very delicious. We then went shopping for dishes, pots and pans and other household supplies for the Maharry’s at the Pure Gold store. Afterwards, we picked up the car. Mae and I stopped at a pharmacy “Mercury Drug” and bought Mae’s pills (blood pressure and Estrodine). We made another stop at the wood carving shop and ordered a caribou foot stool. When we arrived back at the mission home, I again worked with Elder Karen on the computer and decided to leave the computer with him to see if he could work out he problem. He will send the computer back to us on Thursday with President Brimhall as we will have our zone conference. We ate the crepe desserts (yogert for me)which Mae had purchased, in President and Sister Clark’s apartment. We loaded our car with the items for the Maharry’s and our groceries and left for home shortly after 5:00 p.m. We got home at 8 p.m. very tired. Before going to bed, we called Elder Clam and arranged for me to pick them up in the morning.
Wednesday, September 17, 2003
I picked up Elder Clam and Elder Ragasa at 6:30 a.m. and we went to San Jose to the City Circle. Most of the Elders, from the zone, arrived shortly after 7 a.m. with the Guimba Elders getting there before 7 a.m. The San Jose Zone used this day for a Community Service Project. We waited until 8 a.m. before the city officials came and arranged for us to go to a building project. It is a subdivision of duplex homes built mainly by donated labor and donated materials, for low income families. After getting there we were divided into two groups. Our group hauled gravel to the cement mixer, the cement was dumped into a trough, then shoveled into buckets. We formed a bucket line and passed the buckets of cement to a worker who poured it into the forms. The other group did about the same kind of work as did we, except they were pouring footings and foundations. We worked until 11 a.m., when transportation came to return us to San Jose. While there, we had the director of the project explain to us some of the details of the project.
Requirements for a family to participate in this project are:
1. Must be residents of San Jose.
2. Must have a annual income of P10,000 or less.
3. Must be legally married.
4. Must have at least one child.
5. Must work 200 hours of volunteer work on the project within 2 months.
6. The family must repay some of the cost.
Other questions that were answered for us are:
1. There are presently 40 duplex units, that are occupied in this project:
2. There are 55 units under construction now:
3. The project is planned for a total of 260 units.
We found this to be a good experience and when we returned to San Jose, one of the city officials expressed gratitude to us for our service.
After getting home and eating dinner I took a nap. Mae worked most of the morning on getting a Tagalog Book of Mormon marked for a short review of the Book of Mormon, so we could take it to the Galletes this evening. We also started working on a dance instruction for next Friday evening. President Nuque called at 5:30 PM to see why I hadn’t shown up? I had forgotten that I was to meet him this afternoon at 5PM. We will wait now until Saturday afternoon to talk about the Health Fair. Mae saw a mouse run under the couch so I had to chase it down and kill it. That was fun with Mae trying to help me while standing on a stool. I finally killed it with the broom. The Galletes were not home when we went there this evening. We stopped and visited Sister Saranio and her children for a few minutes. I visited with President Clark about the Maharry’s home and the items that we yet need to purchase for them.
Thursday, September 18, 2003
Mae is feeling a little better this morning. It has rained most of the night so we slept in. We attended zone conference and thought it was the same as we had been to in Cameling, we still really enjoyed it and got more from it. We love President and Sister Brimhall. We had talked to President Clark this morning and there is some concern as to the home we had planned on renting for the Maharry’s, the landlord raised the rent. When we called President Clark after zone conference, he said that it was worked out. Mae and I then went to Tarlac shopping at Saver’s Mart and picked out a refrigerator, a water heater, 3 fans and an air conditioner. We called President Clark for his approval. He wants them to call him tomorrow. We think we have things lined up for delivery and installation for next Tuesday. We got home at 8 P.M. The Assistants to the President returned our computer so Mae went to work on it entering Guimba 3rd Branch to get it finished so we can return it to the Elders tomorrow at District Meeting so they can take it to the Branch President on Sunday. Elder Karen couldn’t get the program to work on our computer, but can transfer the data files to the office computer and they work great. At least we can print them out.
Friday, September 19, 2003
We had District meeting this morning so had to get up for that. We did sleep in a while, and then had to hurry to get ready. President Brimhall sent us a tex message asking us for some pictures and a short write up on the Community Service Project we did as a zone last Wednesday. I prepared that after returning from District Meeting. We also tried to get the Branch Survey reports ready for the Elders to take to their respective branches, but I talked to President Clark and we decided that we can wait until a week from Sunday for them to be filled out. Mae had me take a short nap this afternoon. We went out to Guimba 3rd building, where we attended a youth dance. They had Mae and I teach some dance steps to the youth at the beginning. We tried to teach them the two step and the swing. That went fair and some of the youth tried to do the steps later during the dances. The youth were good sports and we enjoyed the evening. It was fun dancing with Mae. When we would get dancing the floor would clear and they would clap for us, that was a little embarrassing. It was a good evening and we were impressed with the youth and the youth leaders.
Saturday, September 20, 2003
We slept in this morning because we didn’t think it would be too busy of a day, but that soon changed. We got a call from Elder Shaw in Tarlac just before we were ready to sit down for breakfast. He wants us to give our Home Teaching/Visiting Presentation to their Stake on October 31st. I worked on getting an e-mail to President Brimhall and also attached 4 pictures of the Doria family which were taken at Jollibees in San Jose last week. While I was doing that, President Mercado came over and asked Mae if we could bring the screen and overhead projector to the meetings which were supposed to start at 12:00 noon in Guimba. Mae hadn’t planned on going, but President Mercado said “See you there” and Mae asked if she was invited as it is usually just for the priesthood. He said “yes, as we will have the auxiliary leaders there.” We had to hurry in order to get President Brimhall’s e-mail off. It took us longer to get to Guimba because there were several places where Palay was spread out on the road. The meeting didn’t get started until 1:00 and the first meeting was with the Branch Presidents, but only two branch presidents were there – President Gajonera and President Cortez and a counselor from Munoz 2nd. President Mercado gave a good thought that I really like, “If we always do what we’ve always done, then we will always be what we’ve always been!” The second meeting should have had all of the auxiliary leaders there, including the branch presidencies, however, no one else showed up so finally President Mercado cancelled the meeting and we came home. Mae did have some time to visit with Christopher and also Kathleen and she felt it was important as Christopher is a new member of the church and he had questions. He is such a neat young man. Mae sensed that Kathleen was having problems so was able to talk with her and, hopefully, help her. After returning from the meetings, we went directly over to San Jose to do our grocery shopping at the CVC store. The grocery bill went quite a bit higher, than we thought it should. Mae looked over it and found an error so we drove back to the store and showed it to the manager, who went to the cashier and they found the error. Instead of the groceries costing us 3,972 Pesos, (almost $80.00) it only cost us 2,300 Pesos ($46.00). We stopped and paid our water bill, came on home and Mae quickly made a dessert while I warmed up leftovers. We were just eating when President and Sister Gajonera and their baby James Justin and also Myra (Sister Gajonera’s sister) came. I popped some pop corn. Within a few minutes Eliza and Eva, who are President Gajonera’s sisters came as we had invited them also. We enjoyed watching the video “The Other Side of Heaven”. As many times as we have seen it, Mae and I still enjoy seeing that show. We served the dessert with ice cream; we had drinks, popcorn and candy, and yogurt for me. We had a very enjoyable evening and walked the family up to the main highway to catch a jeepnie home. We did up the dishes before going to bed.
Sunday, September 21, 2003
We had to get up at 5:30AM so we could leave for Lupao, which is North of San Jose. The Elders ask if we could attend as they are dedication the new chapel. When we got there early no one was there. We took a short drive and took some pictures before returning. We took some pictures of the building when we got back. They held Ward Conference but nothing was said about dedication the building. I was asked to speak during the Sacrament meeting. I had felt that that might happen, as often when we attend a new Branch or Ward, we are ask to speak, so had thought of a few things. When the Bishop asked me to speak and I saw the program, I was surprised that they would ask as they had six or seven speakers on the program already. When we returned home, we ate some lunch and then took a nap. We attended the Munoz 2nd Branch’s Sacrament meeting and before the meeting started Brother Umipig told Mae that she was scheduled to speak, but he had forgot to ask her. She quickly prepared some thoughts and did a very good job. We really feel the guidance of the Spirit at time like that. We heard that Brother Silvia had hurt his arm and did not come to meetings today. We were visiting with President Mercado and indicated that Brother Silvia was having problems and he said “They can expect things like that as they are trying to prepare to go to the temple”. It is true that Satan often tries to stop us. We stopped by their place and found them ok, but they didn’t have the money for a trike fare to get to Church. He had told his children that as they hadn’t attended meetings that Elder and Sister Browning might come to see them. They were glad when we came. I hope things soon start going better for them. We had Elder Clam and Ragasa for dinner this evening and then took them to an appointment. We went over to visit Brother and Sister Sariano and their family for a few minutes. The Sariano had come to church but I hadn’t seen them so Mae felt we should stop by to see them and take some brownies. We had a nice visit, but Mae got mobbed by the children wanting her attention. We came home and Mae cleaned up the dishes and stacked them for Marlyn. I filled out my journal, but Mae then wanted me to check the e-mail. We were up late.
Monday, September 22, 2003
We did sleep in until almost 7AM, but we have been on the computer all day trying to get work done. We did get some e-mails off and received a beautiful e-mail from Becky. Scott sent us three pictures of their family that we sure love. We were after 11 PM getting to bed.
Tuesday, September 23, 2003
We got up at 4:30AM to leave for Tarlac by 5:30AM, as we had to stop at the Bank of the Philippines and try to draw some money out. I could only get P10, 000 out of the ATM as our check has not cleared yet. Our water pressure is turned off at night lately, so when we get up early, we don’t have water to shower with. That is a pain. We ate breakfast at McDonald’s before going to Camiline to the home the Maharry’s will be renting. Savers from Tarlac delivered the refrigerator, air conditioner, water heater and fans. They had to wait for the Clarks to get there with the money. Mae and I stopped at Saver’s on the way home and ordered a mattress for the Maharry’s. When we got to Munoz, we stopped at Brother and Sister Trabalno’s to see if they would accompany us to see the Galletes family tonight. They did and we had such an enjoyable visit. We gave a presentation on studding the scriptures. We were very tired when we got home but received an e-mail from Mike, with 4 attached photos, so had to take time to receive then. They are great pictures. We also received a great e-mail from Shellie and Maryon Frazier answered us back.
Wednesday, September 24, 2003
I woke about 5AM this morning then and then went back to sleep for a while. I got on the computer and was there most of the day. I did make some calls on the bed and water dispenser for the Maharry’s. I had things arranged for Mae and I to go to Camiling on Friday to receive the delivery, and then President Brimhall called and invited us to attend Zone Leaders Counsel on Friday. I had to make some changes in the schedule. We had an appointment with the Lozano family this evening. We asked Marlyn to go with us. When we got there Sister Lozano asked if we would come back next week. We said yes and left. We stopped and visited Sister Hilda Monta, the Munoz 1st Branch’s Relief Society President. We had a nice visit with her. We then came home and I worked longer on the computer getting the district unit organization charts completed and printed off. We were late getting to bed.
Thursday, September 25, 2003
We attended District meeting this morning. I was asked to give a spiritual thought in the one meeting. Then in the general meeting of the Zone, President Clark had asked me to talk to the Elders about budgeting. I tried to stress the importance of the Elders learning to budget not just for now but to help them after their mission. I guess I did a poor job of that because I sure upset Mae and didn’t realize it until we had got home and was eating dinner when I noticed that Mae was troubled about something. When I asked her what was wrong she told me that she thought I was quite male chauvinistic. I am not sure how to handle things like that. Mae said I had told the Elders that if they didn’t learn to budget, their wives couldn’t either and they would be in a mess. Mae told me that I made it sound like women can’t budget and that she certainly couldn’t. She said many women do a better job at keeping budgets than men do and she felt she had done a good job when she did the budgeting because she would just get it going good and I would change jobs or we would move, and she would have to start over again since it wouldn’t be the same salary, etc. I apologized and we made up. This afternoon Mae gave me a haircut. This evening we went to President Nieto’s to watch the video “The Other Side of Heaven”. We had told them that we would bring the refreshments, so we bought ice cream, drinks and Mae made a fruit cocktail desert. We found out that they had changed from the Nieto’s to the Umipig’s and Sister Umipig didn’t know we were bringing refreshments.  We really felt bad that we couldn’t eat the prepared foods, but only the fruits and boughten items. It was a very enjoyable evening. It was late when we got to bed.
Friday, September 26, 2003
I woke at 3:45AM and woke Mae at 4:20AM to get ready to leave for Angeles at 5:30AM. We picked up Elder Hilderbrant, Elder Ragasa and Elder Clam rode with us. We attended Zone Leaders Counsel at the mission home. Elder and Sister Maharry had arrived last night and attended with us. Elder Hilderbrant was interviewed and called to be a Zone Leader. He won’t know until next week where he will be assigned, but we know we will be loosing him from San Jose. We really enjoyed attending and being with all the zone Leaders, the office Elders, the Assistances to the President, Brother and Sister Clark and especially President and Sister Clark. I got Elder Karen to help me with a computer question. He was sure busy with everyone wanting him to assist them. We stopped at a couple of stores trying to buy some soap for Sister Nieto. We were late leaving the mission home so we did not get to Saver’s Mart in time to pay them, so I will have to return tomorrow. We got a cute e-mail from Jeff this evening. Well it is late so will close for now and try to get some sleep.
Saturday, September 27, 2003
We had to go to Tarlac this morning to pay the bill on the furniture that was delivered to the Maharry’s. That took all morning. We got back in time to have some lunch and take a short nap before going to a meeting to discuss the Health Fair to be held December 9th & 10th. We’ve been ask to head the Staff Group Leader, which is over all the other groups. I have some reservations as to whether or not President Brimhall will approve that assignment. I asked president Nuque to e-mail President Brimhall to ask for his approval. After finishing there we debated on going out to visit some families, but decided to go home first to get organized. It started raining hard and continued into the night. I felt quite confused and depressed as to our focus. Mae got on the computer and wrote the family letter. I studied the Church Handbook of Instructions as to the meetings that should be held under the direction of the District or Stake President, and it amazing. Here again I am not sure what direction I should take. We have worked for almost the whole time we have been here on Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching, but I don’t see any thing that has developed from that and I don’t know what we should do about it. I guess that my nature just wants to fix things and when I can’t, I get frustrated and concerned. Mae doesn’t seem to understand that, she thinks we are making a difference and that I am being too negative. I fell asleep while she was typing on the letter, so when we went to bed I couldn’t sleep so got up for a while.
Sunday, September 28, 2003
We attended Munoz 1st Branch this morning and really enjoyed all the meetings. Elder and Sister Clark came but were late because of the slow traffic due to road construction, a wreck and palay on the road. We invited them to come home with us for dinner. Mae prepared roast beef, potatoes and carets for dinner. We enjoyed visiting with them. They had to leave at 3PM, so Mae and I attended the Munoz 2nd Branch Sacrament meeting. We had Elder Clam and Elder Ragasa over for dinner this evening. Our land line has been dead all day so we have not been unable to e-mail our family.
Monday, September 29, 2003
We got up and went walking this morning. We are trying to decide where to place our focus and what we can do to help the work go forward here. We see many problems, but do not know what the solutions are. I balanced our bank statement from the Bank of the Philippine Island. We finished up the letter to our family and took it down to the computer café as our land line still isn’t working. We also sent a short note to Mike and David. We got an e-mail from Shellie who again balled me out for not trying harder to learn the language. I really didn’t need that as far as my mood, but maybe I do. After lunch we went over to San Jose grocery shopping and to make our monthly bank deposit and withdraw. This evening we went to visit President Gajonera and President Nieto to line up a time to meet with them and go over the CMIS. It was 7:30 PM when we got home. We got something to eat and when to bed.
Tuesday, September 30, 2003
I woke during the night with some concerns and so decided that I needed to fast and pray for my Father in Heavens help, for I do not know how to proceed. My 1st concern is over the focus of the work we have been doing. Most of our focus has been on the Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching. We have been here for six months and I feel that we have seen very little if any difference in those programs. The other concern is the language. I have made almost no progress with this area. Shellie has said that I’m lacking faith; Mae feels I am not spending enough time studying and probably both are right. Anyway, I feel that I need help from more that myself so am turning to the Lord in Fasting and Prayer.
We went walking again this morning. I helped Mae get breakfast for her and the Elders. After breakfast we studied on Tagalog. While we were discussing the language, President Nieto called Elder Clam and asked if they could meet him at 5PM to try to go through the CMIS and get it ready for Elder and Sister Browning, as we were coming for it this evening. As we discussed the situation we realized that he did not understand what we had discussed with him last night. He may have worried about it all night. We wanted to help him. We asked the Elders to try to explain what we want to do and see if we also can come at 5PM to help. We waited all day for the phone co. to come to repair our phone line, but they never did. A delivery man brought our phone bill and Mae asked him about our phone being dead. He explained that the phone co. is putting in some new lines in our area and that no one had service in out area. It will be until at least Thursday before service will be restored. I worked on Microsoft Access this afternoon trying to get reports ready to send to President Brimhall this coming weekend. Elder Karen called me and helped me with the report layout. Elder Clam sent a text to us, to let us know that we could come up to President Nieto’s at 5PM. There were several there from the Branch. I explained the Church record concept to them, and then we started going through the CMIS and marking it. President Nuque came and recognized what we were doing and felt that he had a better knowledge of the membership in the Branch than any of us there. He suggested that he go through and mark the CMIS for us, but that he would have to wait until Saturday morning. We decided that that would be the best so adjourned until Saturday at 8:30AM. Mae and I then went to the Galletes family and had an enjoyable discussion with them as to the blessings that we had experienced because of the Gospel in our lives. We felt good at the way that went and the Spirit that was there. I tried to print a program for Munoz 1st Branch Conference, that President Gajonera had given me last night, but couldn’t get it to print like I felt it should. I will have to get Roger Silvia to help as he was the one that designed it. I am glad that they asked me to print the program for Branch Conference, for as I read it I found that I was one of the speakers on the program. Oh well, I guess I would have found out sooner or later! It was after 10PM before I completed my journal entry.
