Our Final Whirlwind Tour before heading home...

Magandang Hapon (Good Afternoon) -

We just returned from a visit to the Arthur Center between our regular morning and afternoon relief feedings. Such a blessing to visit with Pastor Better Labuca and Daniel Bucher again and see the impact that is being felt even now from our first visit to the Philippines back in 2006!

Also had a chance to go over and visit with Jimuel and his mother Helen -- Jimuel you may recall was the baby boy who was assisted through connections we made with the Arthur Center to receive surgery to resolve major disfigurement of his face. What a joy to hear him talking and see him smiling the biggest of smiles!

In the early hours of the morning we leave for a 1 day trip down to Mindanao to visit our friends at the Malaybalay Children's Home and Mt. Moriah camp. Some of you may remember the inspirational story from Ate (Big Sister) Grace Ayala of how the Camp and Children's Home down there were made possible.....upon our return to Manila, we will go to church, spend time with the kids at the Children's Home and then get ready for the long trip home.

Thanks for all your support. Continue your prayers for us -- we will post another blog if we get the chance, but the schedule between now and the end of the trip may not allow it.

For all of us - Kevin
