Philippines

In February we went to the Philippines. (Our computer has been broken for a while and we finally got it fixed so I can finally post again.) We had so much fun. Jake was so excited to be able to go back and visit. And for me it was really neat to be able to experience the different culture and to meet some of the people Jake baptized. So here are just a few pictures of our trip:


This is a perfect picture of what the houses are like in the Philippines. They just find whatever piece of plywood or tin they can and make a house out of it. It is really dirty.

But where there are no people it is sooooo pretty. Everything is really green and there are tons of palm trees. Doesn't that make you dream of summer?

This is a family that we visited while we were there.

Good ol' McDonalds. It was our life line for food there. It's funny cause here it is one of the nastiest places, but there it is one of the fanciest restaurants you can find.

We took a ferry boat out to Corregidor Island. It is the island where the US troops were stationed during WW2. It was attacked by the Japanese and now the whole island is just a bunch of old ruins. This was the old movie theatre. It was a really cool place to see.

We had a really fun trip. I am so glad we were able to go.
