Well, Our time here is almost over. Tomorrow at 2:00 we leave here for Tagbalarn to catch a flight to Manilla at 5:00. The painting is done and over 150 backpacks are fille d with school supplies for the elementary school here in Calunasan Sur. So all our projects are finished but most of the kids don’t seem to want to leave yet. Today we went to the beach after I preached this morning in church, and had a fun time there. About half of us went snorkeling out off the shelf. That was a lot of fun and there was a lot of amazing things to see out there. At low tide, you can walk out to with in a few yards of where it drops off to where you can’t even see the bottom. It is all coral out there and thousands of fish and starfish and sea urchins and other cool coral stuff to see. Brooke is still at the hospital, however it is more as a precaution than nessecity. She has been off oxygen for over 24 hours now and has not had a relaspe, so she will be flying home with us on our regular flights. She did go out to McDonalds with us this evening for supper, so we got to see her for a little while. We will be having a 13 hour layover in Seol Korea during which we will be meeting Michael and Liz’s former foreign exchange student, Han Sol. We will be spending the time with her touring Seol before we continue back to the states. Our flight is scheduled to arrive in Billings, MT at 8:00 pm on Tuesday evening. Pray for safe travels and thank God that Brooke is doing so well.
