What got done in 7 weeks?


Check out what we were able to get done during our last 2 months in the tribe. 

Check out my partner's blog to read all about it.

A visitor


It has been long since I last updated so here goes. My partners and I were able to move into the village last August. We've spent the last 7 weeks living, adjusting and....of course...house building! :-) The end is in sight and the to-do list is getting shorter.

Shortly before we left to go to Manila we had an unexpected visitor. Jonathan Bamford is our Regional leader and through a series of events was able to visit us for a bit. Check out his story.

We hit Manila expecting to return to the tribe in 10 days. As we all know our plans aren't the ones the usually happen. As it looks now, Typhoon Juan (international name, Megi) is hitting Northern Luzon and will postpone our plans for a bit. For the Talbots and I, it really only means staying with friends a little longer. For our friends in the tribe, it means getting their rice harvest in as fast as they can. Pray that there will be minimal damage and that they would be able to harvest all of their food.
