Licensed to Drive

I am told that the procedure to get your driver's license here in Iloilo takes almost the entire day. You need to filll out several forms, get a drug test, and also have a medical examination. You also need several copies of your forms for each person you visit in your quest for the license. Fortunately there are clinics nearby the Land Transportation Office that can take care of this for you, but you still have to jump through all the right hoops, in the right order.

It did not take all day, just most of the morning. I was issued my first Filipino Driver's License today.

Actually this is not the official license, just a temporary paper one. The official license I can pick up at the Land Transportation Office six months from now--yes you read right, six months.

Changing Lives Who Will Change Nations

You may recall we have been directing missionary internships for 15 years. We recently completed the first ever Go To Nations (GTN) Timothy Internship Program in the United States (Jacksonville, FL). Five new missionaries were equipped and empowered, they have been filled up and are ready to be sent out!

Generations

Send More Workers, Lord! Go To Nations has a proven equipping track that has been empowering new missionaries to go to the nations (see what I did there?) since the 1980's. Dave and I have been a part of serving with the Equipping Division for the past 15 years. 

Balaan Bukid, Guimaras

This being Maundy Thursday we decided to join the pilgrims here in Iloilo and visit the Balaan Bukid on the nearby island of Guimaras. The hike details the stations of the cross, with the culmination of large cross on the highest point on the island. Afterwards we swam at the nearby Alubihod Beach. It was a perfect day to hike to the cross and then also to enjoy some sun and surf.
