It’s been a while since we have posted anything here; technology is wonderful….when it works! Our internet server has been down for the last two weeks and no one seems to know when it will resume functioning again. From what we can learn two thirds of the Philippines is affected. Thanks for being patient with us.
It isn’t only in the Philippines that communications are delayed. For an unknown reason some of our mission mail in the states was greatly delayed in being delivered to our Forwarding Agent in Moweaqua. Envelopes that had been mailed in a six week period (a couple from Moweaqua) were all finally delivered on the same day. The lack of mail that brings in the mission financial support caused us some concern—especially during this economic situation in the world. We praised God when the mail was finally delivered but have no idea of what happened to it in the process.
God is moving in mighty ways in Mindanao Island and we know that we are blessed beyond measure to be accepted by God to be a part of what is happening with the young people.
VACATION
Last week we had the awesome opportunity to go to Shanghai, China! Bob and Amy Bailey and their three children invited us to visit them in their home—all we had to do was buy our air tickets. We were so blessed by their generous hospitality to us. They took us sight seeing over the May Day weekend and then when they returned to work they allowed us to use their driver and van to continue sightseeing on our own. It was amazing and to worship in the church for ex-pats (foreigners) as we realized that this opportunity is not available to most people in China. We thank God for this special gift from the Baileys. It was our first time to visit another country in Asia and we loved it.
