Now to the Philippines! Yes, we're leaving next Tuesday and will be gone for 2 weeks returning home December 14. We'll be staying and working with our missionary friend from the Minnesota District (Assemblies of God) Joanne Oftedahl. Bill will be teaching in the local Bible school, speaking to the local pastors, and preaching in the churches. I'll be there to support him and do whatever else may be needed.
This will be our third trip to the Philippines but to a different area. We'll be flying from Chicago, to China, to Manila, to Cebu City. (I looked up some info on the WEB to get some facts about Cebu from http://www.cebu-philippines.net/.)
Cebu City located in the central part of the Visayas island group. It is one of the highly urbanized cities in this island group. It was in the province of Cebu that Ferdinand Magellan first set foot on Philippine soil back in 1521. The temps should be in the upper 80's during the day and upper 70's at night; could have some storms, too!
Sounds like Wisconsin in the summer...yes! We'll be enjoying balmy weather for awhile as we minister to these precious people!
It will be a journey filled with excitement, flexability (to possible schedule adjustments), seeing what our Father has in store, and getting to fellowship with the true hero's of the faith...missionaries.
I'll 'try' to keep in contact here or through Facebook [http://facebook.com/
If you are interested in helping us go to the Philippines of friend of mine is giving us part of her proceeds from sales through Avon & Tastefully Simple. Her information is below...thanks Brenda.
Now to planning, prepping, and packing...and that's just this week! Have a great Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for in our lives!
