I am back safely!
Now will be a time of unpacking and trying to beat the jet lag.
So far so good!

Homeward Bound
Tomorrow morning at 9am I take off for Manila.
I can't believe five and a half months has passed so quickly!
This weekend was so busy that I was not able to focus on leaving. Just now, at 1:30am, I finished packing. Hopefully it will all be in the weight restrictions!
In other more important news, we had a typhoon come through Saturday. There was so much rain that water at Rainbow was ankle deep, and we are on higher ground. Many peoples homes near the river were washed away. Many people's homes were flooded. Also, many lives were lost up in the mountains where there are no good roads and the waters rush very quickly. Please keep this area in your prayers as there is a lot of work that must be done to rebuild and correct damage of homes, roads, and other buildings.
Please pray for safe travel for myself, Becky, and Leanna. They leave the day after me and will also be coming to L.A. for a time. Please pray for safe flying conditions, customs, and endurance to go through the long flight.
Please pray for the transition that Rainbow will go through. Becky and Leanna left big shoes to fill after being here for 18 years. Pray that the staff and children will cope well.
Thank you for your prayers! I will try to update more about the weekend when I am having a layover in Korea.
Blessings!

Rush Rush Rush
This past week has become a "rush rush rush and get everything done before you leave the Philippines" week...
Highlights:
Class with my littlest M and her ability to remember things we have learned.
Yes, that is my clothes line turned classroom wall used to display our school work.
The Quads turned 1!
Carmen and I took My littlest M and B into town for lunch and sari-sari
Little B turned two and we had his birthday at the park in Valencia
Had two of the Agape girls over to decorate a gingerbread house and watch Narnia
Went to the beach in Dauin with all of the Agape girls
Went to the mountains with Pastoral Training of Asia for their two church services
