Hi Everyone!

After 10 months in Davao City, we finally took some time to rest and get away. We flew to Manila and ended up extending our stay from 3 days to a full week. It was great!

One of Nate's new friends was able to get an incredible deluxe suite at a very nice hotel for next to nothing for us

We experienced favor and blessing like never before...it was so encouraging to us.

Hope just laughed and ran and bounced all over that hotel!

And she "swam" in the bath tub 2 or more times a day. (We haven't even seen a tub in 10 months)

It rained most of the time, but we didn't care! We a had such a good time and enjoyed everything away.

The only sad part was saying good bye to  our dear friend Khristina. She left for the U.S. the morning after we arrived in Manila.  Coming home with out her was sad for us.

Don't you love it when God knows just what you need and brings it to you in such a special way?

When we returned to our home in Davao, there was a surprise waiting for us!

Friends from California had sent  a box full of wonderful things for us and it had finally arrived the day we did!

Such a great home coming!

Thank you so much to all the wonderful ladies who gave so much to bless us!! 

We pray that God pour out such a blessing on each one of you and your house holds that you will not be able to contain it and your joy will full in all things!

Hope you enjoy the photos.
