Symanzik Family Update

Beth is feeling better these days. She went to the doctor, received a couple prescriptions, and appears to be on the mend.

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for her.

Well, life here in the Philippines never ceases to be interesting.

I called the doctor's office yesterday to verify office hours and told the receptionist which doctor I was coming to see. She told me the hours and said nothing else. So, Kurt drops me off at the office. I walk in and tell the receptionist I am here to see the Doctor. "Oh, Dr. B. is out of town until Thursday, Maam."

That seems to be the filipino way.
Ask a clerk at the store if they carry a certain item and if they carry it the clerk will say yes but not offer to show it to you. You need to specifically ask "may I see it."
I should've specifically asked "Is Dr. B in today?"

My gut feels a tad bit better today but still is painful. I hope to see Dr. B on Friday....but I'll specifically ask if he is in the office before I go!!!!!

Please pray for Beth. She is not feeling well. She has pain in her gut. I am taking her to the doctor's office this morning. This has been going on for about three days and seems to be getting worse instead of better.

Thanks for praying for us.

One day I'll post a picture of the squid balls you can buy here.
But today, Mikayla tried spicy squid from one of her friends at school....and she really liked it!!!!

We have a myriad of wonderful fruit here in the Philippines, but
apples still rank as an all-time favorite with Kirsten!!!!!!
