In typical Filipino style, our house is very open, and our front porch makes up much of our living space.
To provide a little more privacy, Fr. Joe asked his maintenance team to
build us a fence. They did a beautiful job -- the men are hard workers
and built the fence from all raw materials, using bamboo and wood. Since we have no front door, we especially love having a locking gate!
Romel (far right) has a son and a daughter enrolled at Holy Rosary High School. We enjoyed getting to know him and are excited to be his kids' new religion teachers!
Our open front porch is very welcoming to our new friends and neighbors. Some of the neighborhood children saw us cleaning and bandaging our feet yesterday and immediately showed us their own scraped knees and wounded feet. We were only too happy to lend a hand! This is Wendel.
Last Sunday afternoon we invited the church youth group to our house for snacks and some outdoor games. This is the street in front of our house (see our new fence to the left?). The kids taught us how to play "bon bon" and "open the basket."
Please pray for our team as we continue to settle into our new environment and mission field! Be assured of our prayers for you!
