We arrived in our temporary home at the NTM guest house in Manila tired but happy. It has been wonderful to reunite with so many close friends that we have not seen for so long. One family met us in Texas and we made the entire trip together, then two more families were waiting for us when we got here and took us to the guest house where another family was waiting! The children have adjusted very well to the time difference and being in a new place. We were able to get Philippine cell phones and bank accounts set up this week, and next week we will start looking for apartments and learning our way around the city a little better.
