We are finally here!! After several delayed flights and then completely missing our flight to Davao and needing to stay overnight in Manila, we finally made it to Davao! Praise the Lord for family in Manila who rescued us from the airport and returned us to the airport the next day for our flight to Davao. We were a little nervous as we checked-in, hoping all would go well. It did go great...and we didn't even have to pay for our extra baggage.
We arrived in Davao to a very excited group of people! After lots of hugs and excitement, we loaded everyone up in the Germain's jeepney complete with the 14 suitcases tied down on top! The kids have had so much fun catching up with t
heir friends and just playing and playing in the sun!We brought Christmas gifts with us from family and friends so we had lots of wrapping to do once we arrived. Last night we had a fun Christmas with lots of kid's laughter and chatter! It has been so much fun to be back in a busy full house once again! We have also managed to unpack all our suitcases and find a place for everything.
Today we did a little bit of school and putting together toys that the kids got for Christmas. We also went to buy some food items to take out to a couple missionary ladies who live outside Davao living among the people and bringing Jesus to the village people. Joe, Jenn, and kids have visited them several times and take food items as well as medical supplies. We will all be going on Thursday. Sounds like it will be quite an adventure!
Grace is off to the clinic tonight with Jenn to work the night shift...hoping there will be a few babies born. She got a tour of the clinic the other day and then also went on a baby check with Jenn yesterday. She is getting a little taste of what being a midwife is all about. I will get my turn to go to the clinic with J
enn after Grace leaves...although I am not planning to be a midwife!! :)School is the plan for tomorrow with a little PE at the swimming pool...the kids are excited to go swimming! Then we will get backpacks ready for our adventure on Thursday. A 1 1/2 hour ride in the back of a jeepney with lots of kids will be an adventure in itself!
Please pray that we will use the opportunities around us to show God's love and to be bold enough to share with others as well.
