If you&#8217;re on Facebook then maybe you saw the pictures. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Lance.Laura.Ostman\/media_set?set=a.10156727151185833&amp;type=1&amp;l=7014252c83\">Click here to see them<\/a>, even if you don&#8217;t have a Facebook account. An added blessing was that Nicole was able to come for the event.<\/p>\n<p>On her departure, it wasn&#8217;t planned but Robert and Rhoda were returning from their honeymoon, passing through the airport, kat the same time Nicole was returning to her home. Their flights departed within 15 minutes of each other so they were able to have breakfast together before saying goodbye. Only God could orchestrate that!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Our Upcoming Trip<\/strong><\/span>: Praise the Lord with us! We have tickets for our next trip to the Philippines. On this trip we plan to do the initial checking of Ezra and the final checking for both 1 and 2 Kings. We&#8217;re also planning an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SYIS.Philippines\/\">SYIS workshop in Manila<\/a>. Thank you for praying for all these things.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Thank you:<\/strong><\/span> Thank you again for your partnership with us in prayer and financial support.
