A Philippine Thanksgiving

As our family and friends celebrated Thanksgiving in the United States it was just another ordinary day here in Asia. However, we weren't going to let that stop us from celebrating thanks ... after all, we have much to be thankful for.

  • We see a lot of poverty here in Cebu and most of the time (not all the time) it is because some ancestor made a poor decision and it sadly set his descendants up for a rough life ... We are incredibly thankful for great families who made good decisions to ensure that we would have great lives. Thank you.  
  • Technology. 
  • Food on the table and roof over our head. 
  • Old friends. 
  • New friends. 
  • All of our supports that make it possible to be able to do work in this place. Not just our financial supporters, but all of our cheerleaders as well :) 
  • Grace. Love. Patience. 
  • I am thankful that my first Thanksgiving away from home was a success! 



We had a great time sharing our heritage with some Filipino friends! Andrea and Gepher Lopina opened their home for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast! It was a good time of food, laughs, and new traditions (such as pilgrim and indian hats). 

Love and Peace.
