I decided to take some pictures for you of typical sights I see on a walk with the boys. Here are all 3 in one stroller! Easy! Thanks again, Mom and Dad, for the Phil and Ted's! A winner!
Here is a creative use of recycled cup of noodles. There are some creative ways to find pots for planting around here.
This is the most resourceful person of them all. A family has built a house next to the trash bins, using items that were discarded. This is very inventive! I'm inspired.
My favorite part is on the side there, they actually have blinds in a window. It is amazing how Filipinos can find a use for almost everything.
Here is another typical sight, on many of the homes where you would normally find a door-bell, there is instead "Jesus and Mary" with "halos" around them. The Catholic influence is seen in many ways.
We find cows, goats and water buffalo in just a short walk from our house. Malachi thinks the baby goat is so cute!
My view from the back...three boys' heads--a trio! Oh, did I mention there's no sidewalks? We just walk in the streets.
The mountains and clouds in the background with the coconut trees in the foreground. It is pretty at this view coming around the curve. Our old townhouse is just two blocks that direction.
Some bonus pictures from chapel last week:
The students had an oatmeal-eating contest as an intro to the message I shared about Malachi.
The Word of God is like our daily bread. Mr. Becker and I worked together in this chapel.
I shared from Jeremiah 13: "Hear and pay attention, for the Lord has spoken."
One last random picture from our week: the high school vocal students performed 5 songs at intermission during the play on Friday. Lovely voices blending!
