My friends in Bukidnon,we did hiking.

We slept in this small house, 8 of us plus 4 more people in the mountain.Isn't that amazing?
Two more hours to reach the Mountain village.

These are my Missionary friends in Bukidnon Philippines. All singles, 4 are doing mission in the mountain . The place was so beautiful (taken before my trip to the states, we did this for mission exposure and refreshment ) If we are together, we talk about mission,cultures and single life :)I miss them so much. We gather once a week for having lunch and go to Ukay ukay store. It was fun!

Filipino turkeys



This is a picture of a turkey, taken on my uncle's farm. Turkeys can be seen on many Filipino farms roaming free. Some are huge and their feathers are very colorful. But turkeys are very sensitive to ant bites, which can cause them sickness or even death.

My brother and sister




Today is my 5th month in the states, I miss my family especially my brother and sister. They are very talented and they are participating in the church ministry. Leah Mae is the youngest girl in the family and graduating in Entomology, and Stephen is taking nursing (they are the only singles in the family) These photos were taken on our farm during the 2007 Christmas party.

our 2nd month Anniversary

It's our 2nd month Anniversary today... My hubby and I are very much opposites, but God is a good matchmaker. I learned that as a married couple communication and respect are very important. We are both learning a lot from each other. Thank God for being so faithful and always in control.

I'm sick from the weather changes


It's been a while since I've been on the computer. Thursday night my throat started to ache and my husband told me to sleep the whole day. When I woke up I had a terrible headache and it's hard for me to breathe because of my nose. My husband was very worried about what to do, so he was not able to sleep the whole night for taking care of me. The next day he was so tired from not getting enough rest. Praise God, I feel better now. Two is better than one, I'm so blessed having a loving hubby.
