A Visit from Home

Hard to believe it has been over a month ago since Pastor Jonathan came to visit us.  He surprised Steve one day with a text asking if we had plans for the following week and then asked if he could come on over for a short visit.  Steve at first said, "Sure, we would love to have you!", and then, "Are you serious?"  Knowing Jonathan we knew he was serious!  So we excitedly made plans to meet him in Puerto Princesa and spend our time there with him.

We met him at the airport Wednesday afternoon  and spent a few relaxing days at a hotel.  The hotel has a wonderful pool which the kids spent many hours enjoying!
We really enjoyed Jonathan’s visit...so good to talk and laugh with someone from home.  Being able to talk face to face is so valuable.  We have been so discouraged the last few months and lonely that we had kind of lost the right perspective.  It was time to find it again!

We stayed at a nice hotel in Puerto Princesa and felt really spoiled!  What a treat!  It was certainly a great place to relax and be refreshed!  Also, someone paid for all of us to get a few new clothes, so we spent a morning shopping for everyone.  The kids had so much fun picking out new things!  Ethan and Tyler had a great time with Jonathan and getting his opinion!  
We are so thankful for the time he spent with all of us!
