Our First Week in the Philippines

Our first week in Manila, we hit the ground running or rather taking taxi’s, jeepneys and rails getting orientated to our new city. We got our Philippine drivers’ licenses and visited some of the beautiful historical sights in Manila, such as Fort Santiago and the Manila American Cemetery. We also made our first trip to the grocery store and open market, and learned about preparing our fruits and veggies before eating them.

Love is...Never Having to Say Good-Bye!

What an awesome Father we have...we never have to
say Goodbye! Though our hearts were breaking, our
eyes filled with tears, we knew, we never to have to
say “goodbye”.
That made all the difference for us on January 14th as
we left so many family and friends in Rochester NY
and headed to the Philippines to begin the next chapter
of our lives supporting Bible translation. Our
prayer… “Lord, thank you for relationships that cause
us to cry when we leave. We ask Your blessing for
those relationships in the Philippines!”
