Ruthie and Robert are having a great time! We started off in Manila with the Burkes, our PBC missionaries who are doing a great work there. Vince preached a great message last Sunday at Christ Commission Fellowship, their church which has over forty thousand believers! God is working mightily in the Philippines. Believers are telling everyone about Christ. We were privileged to accompany Vince and Lori on a two-day trip to Palawan, an island near Tara where Lori’s parents first brought the gospel to the people there. As a result, there are now many believers there.
Today in our classes we talked to our students about Texas. They didn’t understand armadillos or the Alamo very well but they were very interested. We find that they want mostly to practice their spoken English. Some of them are at an advanced level and others are beginners. We are adjusting daily to meet their needs. The Lord has given our team a great cohesion and joy in serving together. Tomorrow we will be discussing American holidays which should be a great opportunity. It might even be as exciting as eating the chicken feet at lunch today! We miss you all and appreciate your prayers for us.

chicken foot not for eating. chicken foot for dominos. :-)
Way to be incarnational with eating that foot...But my question is this: did you really eat it or were you just posing for the picture? ;-)
Jennifer looks like she's about to fall asleep in that last picture- you guys need Ms Donna there to stir some activity up in that place! HA
I disagree Christina, Jennifer doesn't look tired, she looks beautiful. I miss seeing that face every morning. Love you Jennifer!
