John and Sandi Hagen Connecting you with tribal missions 
It’s hard to put into words the thrill we’ve had in the last couple of weeks as we’ve toured 3 different countries.
Our adventures started the 27th of Sept. when we flew out of Manila for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Sandi’s eyes were seeing spots, so the first stop after a good night’s sleep was an eye Dr. who "just happened" to be the leading Opthamologist in KL! He diagnosed a torn retina due to all things-OLD AGE- and proceeded to do a laser repair around the tear. Good as new!
We weren’t able to travel out of the city for the time we were in KL due to my eyes, but we had a wonderful time with our hosts and John was able to connect with a classmate that he hadn’t seen in 40 years!
Thailand saw us visiting temples, elephant riding, touring palaces and a serious attempt at seeing some Thailand boxing. The tuk tuk driver (motorcycle type cab) assured us he knew exactly where to go, but instead took us to "shops" where he got credit for bringing the tourist by! When we finally figured out what was happening, he assured us it was only one more stop and he would get free gas! We just smiled and rode along, since it didn’t appear we would have much choice! After finding out tickets were too expensive, we dropped the whole idea!
Our day in Bangkok was so much fun and we closed out the evening eating at an International buffet overlooking the city from 83 stories high!
Our return to the Philippines was uneventful and we leave on the 18th for a 3 week tour of the country. We’ll see some of the works that NTM is involved in as well as actually vacation with our children at a beachside resort. John has patiently been waiting for this part of the trip (he’s been a good shopper) and he just keeps praying that we won’t have a typhoon!
I probably won’t post again till we return to the states mid-November. Thanks for your prayers!
