In Freezing Florida

I guess I should not be implying that Florida is going through a cold snap, most of the US is freezing to me because of air conditioning. Florida is actually pretty hot, not as hot as the Philippines, but still warm. A lot less humidity, so it does not really feel that hot to me. Of course every place I visit, a store or restaurant has the AC cranked. I am freezing.

I am enjoying spending time with my mom and brother. They have treated me to dinner and mom is spoiling me as usual at her home. I have also been driving, which has been kind of fun. We do not own a car in Iloilo, no need for one at this time, so the last time I actually got behind the wheel was in August. I have been cruising around taking care of errands, etc. and it has been kind of cool to go driving while listening to the radio.

Thursday I head to Jacksonville to go to Calvary World Headquarters, and then the missions conference starts on Friday. I will also get to spend some time with some friends in Jax. I return to my mom's on Sunday afternoon, then I get on the plane back to the Philippines on Monday.

Honestly, I can hardly wait to go back. While I am having a great time being with my family and friends here, and the conference will be a blessing, I REALLY miss Chris and my kids. These experiences are so much more fun with them.

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.
