Farewells AGAIN!

The last few days have been rather challenging, with packing and parting ways with so many friends and family. They will be dearly missed. It again has been hard with emotions running wild, just like when we left the states, it is amazing how God works and how He builds those everlasting relationships. Today we actually left our home here in the Philippines and we are currently in a hotel in Tacloban, the city we have visited so many times to do our visa extensions. Our first flight is scheduled for 4 something tomorrow afternoon and our international flight is around 10 pm. We will be arriving just minutes after Randy and Jen Fletcher in Bangkok to meet up with them as well as Pastor Eric. Please pray for the rest of our travel, teamwork as we travel, we also have two fellow students, one is now an intern and the other a continuing student, making 8 coming from the Philippines and two from America, that everything would run smoothly, meeting up and transfer of all our belongings. Also that as we begin this next step of our journey, that just as we had to here, we adapt well and mesh with the community. Of course all the normal prayers, health, strength, and growth. It has been such a blessing seeing how the Lord works while here and how the Lord has used us to touch so many lives, I think I said this before but really it is cool. Thanks for the Prayers. Joe

  1. I also want to share something cool.... You wrote this post on August 21st as you started your journey to finally get to the place where you believe the Lord has called you. On the same day August 21st, we celebrated our 8th year being in Russia. We also arrived in Russia on the same day that you begin your journey in Thailand! So cool as we are sent out from the same body there in Hemet. Love you guys so much :)
