Monday my parents got up at "six bells", as my dad would say. They were so gracious coming to our school to observe our normal teaching routine. They got to meet our students, see us teach and they even went to a class of their own--Cebuano lessons from Ate Bebe. My dad came prepared with his notes and my mom was eager to practice the new words at their language lesson, "Maayong Buntag!"
It was so encouraging to have Mom and Dad affirming and blessing us in our ministry here. Even though we are so far away from them, they can see that God has really placed us here and has suited us to this ministry.
That night we had many of our Filipino friends over for dinner. It was so fun to hear everyone sharing stories and tidbits about their culture. They were so great to teach my mom and dad about what to expect and what to watch out for. The fellowship was wonderful and memories were definitely made.
This is a classic! Dad with his new Filipino friends--they are getting a taste of our culture with these thoughtful gifts Dad brought--Husker shirts! They are making friends here left and right.
