Yes, like most of you could agree, we are pretty busy these days. It's hard to believe in two weeks we are flying out! We have lots going on between now and then, including classes, rehersals, a combined school chapel, and the elementary musical!
Today was a busy day. I taught my two Bible classes, helped Nate with his Elementary classes, taught two other classes and then helped with a rehearsal after school. We're on our way to our Cebuano lesson now, and then we will have dinner before a much-needed rest! Whew! I bet your list is just as long. What was the highlight to your day? (Post comment below for fun!)
The great highlight of our day was when our friend, Dan, stopped down from Manila. He was one of the few people who watched our romance unfold at training in Florida, where Nate and I first met. Dan and his wife were there for us too in Texas when I was in school and Nate was visiting me. We all four have had some great laughs and talks over games and food.
This time was just a brief break for us, but what a blessing. We got to hear Dan's updates and catch up with each other. Hopefully sometime we can visit them up in Manila! What a fun break to our busy day. Thanks, Dan! It was worth it!

Wow! Busy, buzzy bees! What a wonderful yet almost overwhelming time. (See Anne's latest email.) But it's all good stuff and we love music!
The highlight of my yesterday was when I was leading my Kindermusik babies class and the grandparents of little Matthew came to visit with big grins and great participation. What makes this especially grand is that Matthew's mother was a little negative and critical at first so we thought she would be a problem. But she has really warmed up and must not be too disgusted if she invited the grandparents to share in the joy of the class! :-) I'll take that as a kudo, thank you very much!
And how I wish I could be there for your upcoming music events. I will be SO PROUD from afar. Love, Mumsy
It's concert season up here too. Lots of rehearsals and concerts just about every day this week. More the next week and a few more the next week, then I fly home.
The highlight of my day was an absolutely wonderful nap between an all morning rehearsal and an all evening concert. Anywhere between 34-52 winks were taken and enjoyed. The extra sleep also helped keep me alert for the performance. Everybody wins.
i can't wait to see you too!
i totally had a dream about you guys last night, that for some reason we were both passing through some town at the same time and jessica and i were like, running across a field to embrace each other (which is certainly odd, considering we 'technically' have never met.) alas, i will see you in like, 29 days!
Wow, you guys are good!
MUMS: How sweet to hear of the success of your class! YOu are such a great teacher. We will try to bring you a video.
SAM: What do you mean you fly home?! Will we see you? We happen to be flying through Tokyo (brief lay-over)...maybe we'll see you there! How fun would that be? I like the "Winks" story!
HEATHER: How fun you are dreaming of meeting me! You are great. See you soon!
Hey guys! I had a great time hanging out with you! Wish I could have stayed longer...you guys are so cool. I know you have lots of friends and family back in North America who can't wait to see you! Stop by and see us next time you are in Manila!
