The Different Ways in the Philippines

Hi, yes it has been too long. It is July 15 as I write you. It has taken that long to get internet to our house. That is a miracle all by itself. From the day we arrived we called, texted, filled out applications. went to the office, called and wrote again and again.  They would not come for some reason or another. So we started all over again. Actually it took three rounds of applications. We are thankful to have it but as we take this journey together and we paint a picture of where we live and how we live, keep this in mind, we are not in Kansas Toto. Things go at there own speed and many times done their own way and no one knows why.  It's just the way it is.  It's fine really, but in order to keep Jesus with you and your witness in tack, I need to remember two main things.  It's just different, and what are the opportunities hidden in this moment? In four hour waits, no power, eight hour bus rides, and going on a treasure hunt for one item that no one carries, opportunities will present themselves.  All that to say there are lots of opportunities to love and serve people. As you read from our day to day experiences, we will share some of them with you, and we would like to hear some of  yours to. So for today, good-

bye and God bless you.
