Young Missionary

Yesterday Eric joined myself and the team as we visited the Delgado area squatter village. This is the squatter village immediately behind the Sonshine Center. The kids who live here are some of the poorest of the poor. The Sonshine Center staff does weekly visitations to these neighborhoods so we can pray for the families, find out some of their needs, and just love on them. Eric made a friend, and she would not let go of his hand during our visit. I guess she needed some big brother affection.

My responsibilities with the internship require me to say in Iloilo until the internship is completed. I will be returning to the States March 23. We have never been apart as a family for so long. Honestly I am very much not looking forward to being away from my family. I am not looking at this as a "break" from my kids so I can finally do some "real ministry." I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities here in Iloilo, especially as it involves training future full-time missionaries. However, I am not at all looking forward to being apart from my most favorite people in the world. The reason why Chris needs to leave for the States at this time is beca...
