Working with the government to try and get Grants license has been very frustrating. The committee meets on the first friday of the month. In December he was turned down because one letter had been sent to the wrong fax number. Then last friday it was turned down for some problem with the public health department. We don't even know what it is and Grant is trying to find out what the problem is today. He might have to wait another month. It was not so bad the first time because the clinic was being built out but now it is nearly finished. Now it looks like another months wait. You can imagine that it has been quite discouraging for Grant. On the brighter side, we went to Villa Escudero on monday. It is an old Spanish Plantation. The family still lives there but has opened it to the public probably to make money. The grounds are very extensive and beautiful. One of the fun things to do is eat lunch in the river by a manmade water fall. You can rent places to stay with back porches overlooking the river. They have bamboo rafts you can paddle around the river on. It is quite a peaceful and lovely place. I am sure it is used for some wonderful parties and weddings. Last Saturday night we went to Manny's ward party. He works with Grant and runs the Mabuhay House. He is also bishop of his ward. Anyway it was quite the event. I wanted to show you this little boy who did a Michael Jackson impression. He is probably about six years old. He should probably meet Annika and they could be on "So You Think You Can Dance"! Well, sorry the Michael Jackson dance did not download for some reason. Maybe it needs government approval. I am not sure what happened but I have tried twice and that's it because it takes too long.
