SAFELY ARRIVED…
We’re thankful to have arrived safely back in the Philippines. The plane trip was long, but uneventful. Now we’re here, already over jet lag, but still readjusting to the heat. Bill will attend some field leadership meetings this next week before we head to Palawan and get going on translation again

WHILE IN THE USA…
While we were in the USA for these past two months, God totally amazed us with his provision for us and so many encouragements. We want to pause to look back and thank him for everything. Airfare, housing, a car and cell phones to use, generous gifts to cover all Bill’s medical expense deductibles, dental care, meals and fellowship… all were graciously provided. Several church groups and one of our doctors laid hands on us an prayed for us, our health and the Palawanos. The home fellowship that provided the phones even brought dinner and helped us clean our apartment the night before we left. Wow.

And then, Bill was able to get in to see doctors on very short notice, and to get tests and procedures scheduled, all within a two-month time frame! The best news of all being two biopsies came back benign, his heart was pronounced healthy, and his kidney stones… vanished. Yep, the CT scan showed the stones to be gone. We feel God simply dissolved them in answer to everyone’s prayers. Again, wow.

And of course, we got to experience the life-changing and indescribable joy of becoming grandparents. We’re thankful for Max’s healthy arrival and how he’s growing and developing. Now we’ll miss him terribly, but he’s well cared for there with his Mommy and Daddy!

We also got to spend some time with Bethy and Ricky and be a part of the initial planning for their wedding.

PLEASE PRAY WITH US…

• for adjustment to the intense heat this time of year
• to quickly get settled and fully back into translation
• for God’s wisdom and guidance every day

Reaching Palawanos together with you,

-Bill and Donna
