We're pleased to inform you that God has blessed us with a baby boy (in the womb of Lydia). Lydia had an ultra sound yesterday and it's a boy! We rejoice! Praise the LORD! Thanks for all your amazing love toward this child and the seeds you've already sown into our childs life. Salamat Kaayo!
There was 17 mothers at the Bible study I lead yesterday wonderful turn out! I had my first Cebuano language lesson yesterday, it's 60 lessons and I will do one a week. My teacher is a professional who doesn't advertise but prays to God for her students which a lot are missionaries, it's a one-on-one style of teaching. One hour of teaching is one lesson and it costs $6.25, in total it will cost roughly $365 to learn to preach, teach, and speak the local tongue here. If all goes according to plan I will be fluent in 1 year and 2 months roughly. I'm very excited about this.
God Bless

Brothers, Sisters and Dear Friends, The Good news is that the Lord is answering your prayers for Brian and Alice. It is nice to see Alice out of her hospital gown, and walking around with the assitance of her walker. Brian is gaining strength from his broken ribs and is looking better each day.
