so what hav i been doing to stay sane while lying in bed with my right arm propped up so it can heal? sorting photos 1-handed! remembr when i mentioned a media team had come through for a week and followed us around w/ cameras? well, they got a lot of great shots, and i spent the last coupl days sorting thru 8,687 pictures - yes, they took 8,687 still pictures in 8 days - not including all the video shots. Here was what we faced that week:
Now, don't get me wrong, they were great peopl, and we really enjoyd them, just their cameras got tiring. As I told them, in one way, they were the easiest visitors we evr had, in other ways they were the most difficult. :) Nothing like havng a camera in your face all day!
but once we got over the camera thing, we realy did enjoy getting to know thm, and they got some GREAT shots while they were here. They got some wonderful Filipino everyday life shots as well as some amazing face shots that we will be able to use while we are in the States this summer. They also got some great shots of our family "in action". here r just a few of them:
while the team was here, something VERY EXCITING hapened. u remembr the bibl study that jose (1 of our 1st believrs, seen in pic below) started in novembr? (check archives 2 jog ur memry and c pics) well, they had their 1st baptism there! 12 precious souls clearly understood what Christ did 4 them and made a public profession of that faith. what a thrilling afternoon!
tnx 4 ur continued prayers 4 us as we finish up here b4 heading 2 the US in less than 1 month! tnx 2 4 praying 4 my arm as it continues 2 heal, the pain level has been prtty good, and i am hopeful i will b abl 2 typ w/ TWO hands again soon. tnx 4 ur patienc and code-deciphring in the meantime. :)

Love the pictures! We can't wait to see you again in person though!
Great photos! It is often so difficult to capture those shots when you are busy living it, especially ones that include the whole family. What a blessing that you have these to share with those in the States but also for you to remember those moments. Great material for a family scrapbook.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the "stuff" to do before you head back to the States.
Hey friend! I love all these pics! So nice to see YOU in some of them instead of behind the camera! :) My fav is the last one of the 3 kids. Sure do miss seeing those faces. I texted you the other day and never heard back but just wanted you to know we've really been praying for your travel, surgery and healing. Also know its crazy right now so praying for that too. We've got about 6 weeks so chaos reigns in the Allen house too. Trying to get in as much school as possible plus making all sorts of arrangements. You know the story. Sorry I haven't been in touch much. It's not bc I haven't been thinking of you though. Love you and miss you lots.
What beautiful photos! We can't wait to see you all again!
Those photos are fantastic! I can't imagine going through so many. I know it was crazy but that is a cool blessing to have photos of your whole family(you too!!) in this stage of life.
