This week we left our backpack in a taxi. It contained a portable DVD player, our camera,and ALL of our Tagalog notes!

A total miracle in Manila… the taxi driver gave the bag to his friend, who found us on the NTM website. He emailed us, and brought the bag to our house the next day, with everything still in it! We are praising the Lord for an honest taxi driver and friend and the way the Lord allowed them to find us.

PLEASE PRAY…

- for continuing progress in Tagalog. This week went a little better, thanks for praying!

- we have been working on building relationships with our neighbors here. Please pray for openings and chances to talk with them.

Camryn had her first haircut this week!

She watched a Baby Einstein movie to keep her from moving her head too much.

All done!

Am I so cute or what?

PLEASE PRAY…

- for our family to get healthy! We have all been fighting another “family cold” this week.

- This week was a more difficult week in Tagalog language school. Keep praying with us that our brains will soak up as much language as possible!

Here in Manila, just about every fast food restaurant will deliver to your house! They use motorcycles with a box on the back for the food.  McDonald’s even has 24 hour delivery!

Fries, anyone?

Last week, we experienced several power outages here as they fixed the transformers that were damaged during the typhoons.

Here I am with Ryley during one of the outages, enjoying some hot chocolate together. The flash on the camera made it look a lot brighter than it really was!

Last week we got to visit Tamaraw Falls with some friends- beautiful!

It was so nice to have a break from city life and see some nature.  It was great to see that the Philippines is more than the concrete jungle of Manila!

PLEASE PRAY…

- that our visas would be accepted and processed this week. If we have to file for another extension, it will be very expensive!

- for the Agutaynen people on the island of Palawan, who just heard the Gospel for the first time last week!  Pray that God’s word would take root in their hearts. READ MORE ABOUT AGUTAYNEN TRIBE
