This is our church in San Ildefonso.  You can see our car in the parking lot.  One other individual in the branch has a personal vehicle.  The rest come to church by trike or by Jeepney.  Some can't afford the money to pay for transport to the church.  We're assigned to work in this branch but we live in Baliwaug which is a 45-60 minute drive.  We don't live closer because there is no housing in the San Ildefonso area that us acceptable for the church to rent for senior couples.  I'm glad every day that the standards of rental for senior couples are so high, for example there must be air conditioning, must be North American toilets and showers, there must be parking and the premises must be gated and have security.  In the church we meet upstairs on the second level for Sacrament meeting.  There is no air conditioning inside but there are fans which are turned on high to the point where there is a high wind as part of every meeting.  The priests put a hymn book on the sacrament table to keep the cloth from blowing away.  The windows are also wide open and  the noise level from traffic is high.
