Back to the Tribe

Going Home… Again

Well time flies and soon, so do we. But first, to catch you up a bit.

Donna arrived back in the Philippines on Mother’s Day. We had a little time away together and then headed down to Palawan. Since then we’ve been shopping like mad, getting ready to move (at last?) into the tribe again, gathering months of supplies and any additional building supplies we will need to finish off the work on the house.

Somewhere in there Donna has been working on recovery from jet lag, the loss of her mom and the whirlwind of her frenetically busy last days in the USA.

Now we will be flying back into the village next week. We’re excited… anxious to get “home” again… and bracing ourselves at the same time for all the work that faces us.

We are also realizing that being back in the jungle will make us a little more cut off from our kids, and a little less easily in communication with everyone. That is never an easy transition. Thankfully we will have email this time… that’s a new blessing we never had in the past.

Bill’s Asthma Continues to Improve
Thanks to all who have shared concern and empathy. His improvement has slowed and leveled off a bit… not quite a “normal” levels, but a huge gain over where he was in mid-April. We head back to the tribe armed with new medicines and knowledge, with plans for some lifestyle changes that we hope will allow him to function better in the village.

Let’s keep working together to be Reaching Palawanos with God’s Word!
