Extreme Makeover, Playground Edition

This has been an incredible two weeks. Two short term missions teams from several churches from Indiana were here. Their goal: to build the Sonshine Center a brand new playground. They succeeded.

    Beth, great to hear from you and thanks for the comment. So I guess it's time for you and your family to come back.

Departing

Leaping off the Leadership Development post, I have some somewhat sad news. Chris and the kids will be leaving for the States this Saturday. They leave for Manila on Friday, and then fly onward to the States on Saturday, arriving in Baltimore around midnight (Maryland time) Saturday evening. Why is this sad?

We do have air conditioners in our home here in the Philippines, but honestly we hardly ever run them. Thankfully our family has gotten used to the heat. While it can get oppressive at times, especially when doing any kind of manual labor or lifting, for the most part the heat does not bother us. Even at night, we are now accustomed to sleeping with just a fan, even with the heat and humidity....
