Visiting, Sharing, and Adventures

I took my mom to visit Lin-Lin and her kids. It was fun for her to see their house and to meet her kids. On the right is Lin-Lin's mom, who was visiting from the mountain. Both Lin-Lin and I got to have our moms for Mother's Day!

Later we went to see where Emi used to live. This is the C.R. "Should I use it? Hmmm...."

"THIS is it? I don't think so." This is the one C.R. that is shared by a whole clump of families, living on planks out into the sea. I cannot describe it all here. It is too intense.

Elijah: "Follow me as we tour the Philippines."

All along here you will find rooms, each one occupied by a different family. It is like a college dorm in some ways, but in other ways totally different!

Does this picture say it all? My mom was having quite the adventure and cultural experience. Here is Emi, our tour guide.

My mom handed out fruit to all the people and kids we passed. What a day we had riding different things like trikes, bikes, taxis and walking. My mom is getting to really fit in here. She can even speak the language a bit!

And then back to our "other" world, on the street where I live. It is fun to just have these quiet moments with Grandma.

Can you spot my mom in this picture? We are attending the Elementary chapel where Nate is leading worship. There are many different aspects to our life and ministry here, as you can see by the tour my mom is taking here!

And here is another fun birthday outfit that Elijah got from Grandma and Grandpa. He loves to eat rocks.

I like the natural shots.

We are up to Thursday morning. Later I can post more pictures of our adventures in the Philippines, but for now I need to get Elijah to bed and give my mom a chance to email all her experiences to the fam!
