Happy 4th of July from the Philippines!  It is always interesting to celebrate our nation’s independence day while in another country.  As everyone in America is beginning their day of celebration, we are winding down, having spent a day celebrating the 4th of July.  We were able to celebrate with some great friends, and meet some new friends.  We love our nation, and we love each of you.  Thus far in the Philippines we have been able to be a part of a youth service, and Sunday morning services at two different church locations.  It has been a great opportunity and our girls are making some great new friends.
