A Samoan couple. Samoa is a tiny island in the Pacific.



We are enjoying a week long break from seminary. It's so nice to be able to check out Baguio , do ministry, and relax. We have been so busy lately. We needed to catch our breath. :)

Anyway, Kent preached yesterday morning on at a local church. He shared a great message on the Holy Spirit. That afternoon, we went to the feeding program to work with the kids. Today, we were having lunch in Baguio. Half way through the meal, we realized that the wife of the former President of the Philippines was two tables over. People kept looking over there...... we knew it had to be someone important. So we asked the waiter. He told us that her name was Imelda Marcos. She and her husband were in power from 1965-1986 when they fled the country because of an uprising. Her husband died in exile in Hawaii in 1989. She is best known here for owning 7000 pairs of shoes when she was the first lady.....isn't that a claim to fame? As you would prob guess, some Filipinos did not like her. Unfortunately I did not have my camera but.....I found a picture of her on the internet. :)

I've included a picture of some of the students at APTS. I am eating dinner at the worship leader's room in one of the pics. The worship team represents Korea, America, Japan, and Vietnam.

God Bless,
Paige and Kent
