(say Bug-AW-bawg) Well, I mentioned in a recent prayer update to some of you who’ve been praying for us that we especially desired prayer this coming Friday when we head to one of the local villages on our own by public transit. For one thing, we found out today that (since we’ve never been here [...]

We made it too Manila with no problems. A 3.5 hour flight is a nice refreshing change. So short! Of course, then we had to sit in Manila traffic for an hour or so. But it has been such a blessing to be here with my aunt & uncle. How great to be able to [...]

I’m standing here in the Singapore Changi International airport using their free Internet kiosk. The spacebar on this keyboard requires some serious punching to get to work. In less than an hour we fly to Manila (4 hr flight or so), where my aunt & uncle (who live there) will be picking us up from [...]

So, we found out today, our last day in Singapore, that pretty much every 7-Eleven in Singapore has free wifi. This is significant because there are 7-Eleven’s everywhere, including just down the street from where we’re staying. And they play funky American music. So, all is good. Too bad we just found out today. Then [...]

I don’t have time to do anything fancy right now, but something is better than nothing, right? Taking off from LAX Katie marvels at the (real) orchids in the Singapore airport upon our arrival. Our view from the hotel room the first morning, showing part of the Singapore skyline. Us at the Singapore River this [...]
