I’m out every morning running and visiting with people as I go. Green Hills mall is about 2 miles from our Manila guesthouse. I run there every morning. The […]

Kelep

February 17, 2011

We recently heard that Willis and Jakurya’s son Kelep was seriously ill. This was complicated by bad weather and the lack of a plane to get them. After much prayer and hard work, this all came together. They were taken to Goroka Hospital and God provided a good pediatric physician. He discovered that Kelep had […]

ING Hartford Marathon

October 18, 2010

I’ve wanted to run a marathon for many years, yet there never seemed to be an opportunity. This year I found myself on Home Assignment in Connecticut. So there was no excuse. I use a 16 week running/training program. Yet a couple of weeks before the marathon I had serious thoughts as to whether I could […]

Rainy Season.

April 18, 2010

We have two seasons here: Dry and Wet. It’s been dry for as long as I can remember. Probably our last rain was last fall. Today it did rain. With the rain came a power failure. That is fairly common here. I can’t remember where we put our umbrellas. Our grandson, Jonathan decided to use […]

We arrived in Manila Saturday, February 5, 2010!

Back on the Job

February 21, 2010

We returned to our guesthouse ministry the first of February. While people have come and gone, the paper work and accounting was put on hold because of our delay in returning. While, there were lots of things to record and enter, that whole process went fairly smoothly. We did return to a “full house”. All […]

A funny thing happened to me on my way to Portland!

January 19, 2010

Our first year in the Philippines has come and gone. We did find ourselves busy with running and maintaining the guesthouse, building new units, purchasing/shipping for our missionaries and the bookkeeping involved with all of that. During this same time we were hearing some unsettling news concerning the health of our mothers. So we decided […]

September 30, 2009

[album id=1 template=extend]We’ve been here for about 6 months. To get our proper immigration status we had to be fingerprinted. While there is an immigration office just down the street, they don’t do fingerprints. The only place that that is done is in Manila. So earlier this month we went to Manila to get our […]

The death toll caused by Ondoy (international codename: Ketsana) is expected to rise as the country’s capital region struggled Sunday to recover from its worst flooding in 42 years. We are grateful for all who […]
