Today has been very long but very uplifting.
We've been out in the minibus (I was allowed to go in the front so I didn't get sick) to visit the Farm, the boys home and Laguna (The residential home in the suburbs). We've spent many hours in the van but it has been worth the discomfort.
At each stop we have been greeted by laughing and singing children and young people who know that they are cared for and loved by committed adults as well as being loved and accepted by their heavenly father. All the children are studying and have aspirations to make a life for themselves despite the start they have had in life. I have many individual stories to bring back with me to go with the 100's of photos.
Zac has been overwhelmed by attention being considered very white and very cute, although Mike was getting his far share of attention from the older girls at Laguna. I don't think I've seen any other white children in Manila at all!
The boys have been fantastic but it has been a lot for them to take in and we are looking forward to some family time for the next few days at the seaside!!..
Ate Sol is taking us to the ferry tomorrow morning (I don't think she trusts us to get therer by ourselves)
I'm sure we will find an internet cafe to blog from but we'll try not to mention the white sand beaches and the snorkeling. This is a mission trip after all.
God bless for now.

Hi The Adams famile, enjoy the break away - will be good to retreat for a while and have some mfamily time. Thanks for all your blogging. Love from The Shrimps x
have a fantastic week end. Dad is so enjoying hearing your news. He has had a very slow and very frustrating week in hospital with pretty much nothing changing, consultant on holiday and absolutely no-one available to talk to me but we battle on.
God bless you all.
Lots of Love Andrea
