We spent a day at Mambukal Mountain Resort. You could walk up the mountain to seven different water falls. A beautiful place. At the close of the day Maria and Sister Judy enjoyed a cable ride down.

In route to Cebu
On one of our free days we took a trip by boat to Cebu. I love the ocean and enjoy visiting new places.

The children would gather well in advance of the afternoon service at the Barangay Hall. Here is a picture of Bro John with the kids and a picture of the Philippines Praise Team.
Afternoon Praise and Worship
We gather at the Biao High School every day at 5:00 PM for a praise and worship service. Here Cherry is talking with some of the children prior to the service. These children were such a blessing.
Bro John enjoys the local fruit
The evenings were special. It was a time to relax and get some relief from the heat. One of the children brought some Duhat for us to sample. I've had this before and it was fun just sitting back and waiting. I finally had to ask Bro John if he knew his lips and tongue were purple. Here is a special picture with Bro John and evidence of Duhat stain {:)
Maria helping with the children
Maria helped with our class. She would help pass out materials, work with crafts and siting our memory verses.
Morning Sessions with the Children
We meet every morning with the children for two hours. Here is a picture of the class that Cherry, Maria and I had.
First service in Biao
Sunday, April 11th, 2010 was our first service in Biao. Here is a picture of Pastor John talking with the children while Cherry translates.
Our prayers for Lawrence answered
When we got into Bacolod our friends Rich, Lisa and children were visiting from Australia. Lisa and Cherry up together in Biao and we had Lawrence on our pray list at Fort Branch for a long time. It was a blessing that Pastor John had the opportunity to actually meet our friends and see how God has touched Lawrence. God is good!
