Biao Trip

Maria and I arrived in Bacolod on March 7th, Cherry had arrived several weeks prior to this. It was a good two hour trip to the Village of Payo where we stayed most of the time. Payo is the last Village where supplies can be purchased before you get to Biao. It takes another 40 mins or so to reach Biao and most of the roads are dirt and rock, you will find a few small stretches of concrete.

Cherry In the Philippines

Cherry is in the Philippines and Maria and I are leaving Thursday, March 5th, 2009 at 11:30 AM. We are very excited about our trip and trust God has his hand in coordinating next years mission trip. Cherry had the opportunity to meet Bishop Soriano (purple) and I am looking forward to meeting with him in a week or so. The Bishop was accompanied with Sharon (flowery blouse) , Irene (red) and Pastor Jonathan (yellow).
