Philippines Update

Hey!! I only have time for a short update, but ti sum things up, everything is going amazing! We have loved every minute here-the people, the country, and one another! Our team is working so well together and we are laughing constantly and the guys played really well together on the court. We just finished up the basketball part of this trip. The guys played 2 games a day Monday-Thursday. The played in some very hot and hard conditions. The courts were outside, but covered, and were normally very slippery which made things difficult at times. We joined a team of high school MK boys from all over, mainly from Taiwan which gave our guys some nice breaks during the games. All the guys on our team got an opportunity to share their testimonies at at least one of the half times. They were very powerful and the gospel was definitely spoken. We had some great responses at many of the games and are praying that once they get connected with churches around them that their faith will continue to be strengthened. Us wives decided to stay with the guys since all days we traveled about an hour from Manila and we wanted to see as much of the country as we could. We also got to talk with the people-the many people- who came out to watch the games and follow up after the testimonies were shared.

Tomorrow early morning we head out for Boracay-an amazing beach here- that we are so excited about! It will be a great time to relax-especially for the guys- and enjoy the most beautiful part of the Philippines from what we hear.

God has been teaching Brandon and I some really neat things and we can't wait to come home and continue to digest everything we have learned and seen and see where the Lord will take us. I can tell you that we will be very anxious to come back!

Can't wait to post picture when we return!
Thank you for your prayers. We are so thankful that we have all stayed healthy and safe-especially the guys with no injuries!!
Thank you! We love you!
