Since my last post we have been to the Philippines (and of course returned), been to several different states, and have been working hard at home.
Our missions trip to the Philippines was amazing. We were with our missionary friends Joanne Oftedahl and Dave & Debbie Johnson. We truly appreciate our friends and the opportunity to minister together with them.
The ministry included traveling to several different islands by airplane and boat; on land by car, by taxi (as in a motorcycle with a side car) and by a little walking. The weather was amazing: hot, humid, sunny, wonderful, some rain, some storms, even effects of a typhoon! Of course the scenery is always beautiful and the people are truly beautiful!
All of our ministry included teaching seminars during the day, services in the evening, and ministry on Sunday's at the local church. We met so many wonderful and amazing ministry couples that are putting their heart and soul into all they do; from building churches, running after school programs, feeding programs, maintaining church properties, running businesses to help fund their church, and etc. They are really resourceful and very appreciative of our visits. And we appreciate all the work they are doing.
Our missionary friends are working very hard, too, for the Kingdom. We want to extend a big thank you to them for their hard work in arranging our trip, and how smoothly it all worked out. We had true adventures, and wonderful times of relaxation.
Now that we are in the month of December we want to extend to all of you a Merry Christmas and a happy, blessed New Year. We appreciate each one of you!
He IS the reason for the season!
