Ok, here are some pics of our time down in Bicol. Be sure to check out the post below this one for an update on the housing situation and to know how to pray. You can also see a pic of Kayla's most recent injury.
While we were in Bicol, we got to go visit some hot springs on one of the many volcanoes there. It was a gorgeous place with a stream running next to the warm pools.
The warm water felt wonderful - there were several COLD pools then 3 warm ones, each a little warmer than the last. We all had fun jumping in the freezing cold one then running to jump in the steaming hot one. Ben thought the whole thing was a little crazy though.
For the 1st few days, we stayed with an American family who are working down in Bicol as well. Their 9-year-old daughter Junia served as our tour guide for the day. Mikayla and her enjoyed getting to know one another, and it will be nice to have them only an hour or so away once we move down there.
The kids had fun playing in the freezing cold mountain stream running next to the hot pools. It was so odd to have such a temperature difference so close together.
I was going to post this later this week, but I decided to do it tonight instead because right after we got home with Junia that day, she got very sick. We had actually planned to stay with their family all week, but changed our plans and moved out when she got sick. Her dad was also sick. She ended up with dengue fever and is in the hospital now! She had a blood transfusion today; she is one very sick little girl. Her dad, Bob, is still sick as well, and now her mom, Koleen, is also in the hospital. Their family could certainly use your prayers this week!
