Kirsten and Ben recently completed a season of football (soccer in the USA). They enjoyed playing and I enjoyed coaching!

Praise that Ben's tummy troubles for the most part seem to have disappeared. Only once in a great while will he complain that his tummy hurts now!
Whatever was ailing me has cleared up!
Thanks for all your prayers!

One of the nice things as an American living in the Philippines is the variety of new things to eat and drink. Just recently I have had a few opportunities to eat squid. Once was in a seafood salad, and the other two times were plates of sizzling squid, one spicy and the other not. Not bad.
In addition to squid, there are quite a few other new foods that we have yet to try. One is durian which is a fruit that smells like strong garlic, and balut which is partially formed duck egg. Both are somewhat "acquired" tastes. We are not rushing out to try these two just yet.
