We were so blessed this month to have some very special visitors come to stay with us from the U.S.--I fondly call them Mr. and Mrs. S! I have known their family my whole life and am very good friends also with their daughter (Trisha was our FIRST visitor to the Philippines in April of 2007). What a wonderful gift to have them come stay with us and to be able to share with them our ministry, our life, our friends and this beautiful country--the Philippines!
Saturday we took them to sea on a boat trip. Since the boat held 40 people we invited some very special Filipino friends with us. For most of them it was their first time on a boat and even their first time ever off the island! They were very excited indeed!
Aw! Look at these three! Lord, you are so gracious and loving toward us!
This is also Elijah's first time to sea. It is fun to have visitors because it gives us a chance to do fun things too! I tried to keep Elijah out of the sun all day--that thing can burn even me pretty badly. Thankfully he stayed puti--white.
I had to have a little photo shoot, of course. Here we are--the three Beckers at sea!
And here is my friend, Emi. We are like sisters now and our boys are destined to be friends! How fun to share in the sea together.
Tah-dah! We love having fun together in God's creation. . This was the first vacation Emi's family ever got to take all together (besides the adventure we took them on last year to the waterfall).
Mr. S enjoying some coconut milk--well, not really. He decided he is not a "fan" of that drink, but he looks tropical, doesn't he? I said he kind of looks like a banana in that hammock! What a fun guy! As my dad said when he was visiting, "AH, this is the life!"
