A Kalanguya Baby

In Another House

When I went to the church in Nanciakan, this couple stood in front for some reason that I never figured out. In this church, the men normally sit on one side, and the women on the other side, though this did not appear to be a strict rule cause not everyone followed it.

I wore the traditional Kalanguya dress to the village church on Sunday. It was nice to go to the church there except that everyone stared at me.

The Village of Mapayao, December 27-29, 2005

We went to the village of Mapayao for the annual Kalanguya Singles Camp. Since we rode in a jeepney, it only took around two hours to get there.

These girls were very excited to have their picture taken.

This is the home of the missionaries from Australia. I stayed with them when I was in Mapayao.

Laguna, December 22-26, 2005

I spent Christmas in Laguna, a province that's a few hours south of Manila, because Mark, my Canadian friend from the summer 2003 session at CanIL invited Bob and I to accompany him to visit his "text friend" Chrisma there. (The policy of SIL Philippines to not allow any of it's members to date w/o a chaperone).

The four of us went on a lot of rides. I liked all of them except for the roller coaster.
