Hello friends and fam. Just wanted to update you on a couple things. On one of our first posts, we asked for prayer for a young boy Neil who was electicuted in Sunday school and needed to get to the US for treatment. After jumping through many hoops and being denied, his Visa has been granted! Thanks to all who prayed for him.......he will be leaving for Galveston, TX on Sept. 18th.
In other news, we have been busy with school and the children. Finals happen in about a week and a half........we are ready to have them done.
We hosted an all day retreat for street vendors and other adults from the village we are working with last Monday. It was a beautiful day, no rain(which was a miracle in itself) and God touched many of the people in a powerful way. We were able to bless each family with a sack of goodies(bread, tuna, etc) to take home. I wish you could have seen the smiles.
Finally, Kent has become an official Filipino. He ate balut this week.....that's right....as featured on Fear Factor and TV network's Bizarre foods....... a duck fetus boiled whole. All he had to say was "It was a unique experience". Hahaha......the picture says it all.
Miss you all,
Paige and Kent

Welcome to the club Kent! yuck! That's a club membership that I don't want to renew! Did they hassle you saying "You're not a real missionary until you try balout!"??? The peer pressure is just to much to take! =)
Kent, you are the Man! I can't believe you kept down the balout. Pictures and notes are like a visit for us.
Love you guys and miss ya.
WOW- we don't get to see an actual picture of him eating it?? :P
I'm liking the baby carrier in the 2nd picticture- looks even more sinple than a maya wrap!
