It's amazing. I spent only two weeks in the Philippines, but I quickly became accustomed to waking up at the crowing of the local rooster. I really miss it. I told my wife, either she lets me go back to the Philippines or I'm gonna by a rooster! Well . . . neither has happened. I'm still holding out for the return trip to the Philippines -- I think my neighbors might having something to say about the rooster.

| Children in front of the Sierra Bullones church |
On the bright side . . . I have received several photos from my friends at the Sierra Bullones and the Chocolate Hills Christian Churches. I enjoyed spending time with some of the children in these photos. To the right is my friend, Novelinda, whom I have been communicating with to help support church programs for these children. They just finished a Vacation Bible School at the Chocolate Hills church, resulting in four baptisms! I will be interested in seeing if they have a few other decisions in the coming weeks, as some times it takes a while for it to sink in what it means to accept Christ as their Lord.
I got to help some of these kids by sending a little money to cover the cost of meals. My friends are so excited about getting even the smallest gift to help their ministry -- I really want to do more for them because I know how appreciative they really are.
I was supposed to get a delivery of balikbayan boxes today, but they haven't shown up yet. I will give them a call on Monday -- I'm not in a rush, but I do want to get these boxes out in front of potential donors.
I'm also looking into the price of a rooster . . . perhaps I can find something on Craigslist?
