Hello y'all! Just thought we'd give a quick update and let you know what's going on with us so you can pray more intelligently.
Thank you so much for your prayers for us as we traveled. We made all our connections smoothly, and enjoyed a few hours in London. What a treat it was to just "happen" to be there on the day and at the exact time to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. Isn't God good to just love on us a little bit by providing special things just for us? We enjoyed lunch in a little English cafe and I had fish & chips, of course. Our walking tour took us to Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, past 10 Downing Street and on to Trafalgar Square and Picadilly Circus before catching the underground train back to London Heathrow Airport.
After a stop in Hong Kong, we arrived in Manila & were met by our son Carl & his wife Claire and the kids, who were just barely getting over jet lag themselves. Now, we're back in Tacloban and in full swing with a sports volunteer team on the west side of the island, and 2 Nehemiah Teams we'll be visiting on the island to the east. Meanwhile, Sean arrives next week, then leaves soon after for boarding school in Manila. Life has definitely picked up the pace!
As you think of us, please pray for clear direction as we get back into the work here and try to follow-up what has been done in our absence. Pray for workers to join us in the harvest field, especially a journeyman (for 2 of them, really) for Samar. Pray for the ISF sports team in Ormoc City as they teach health and sports basics in 2 elementary schools and in 1 high school. Pray for the children to see Jesus in them and for them to be ready to give an answer for the hope that they have.
I hope to post some pictures soon of London, and of the sports team in Ormoc.
We're praying for all of you back there at Tate Springs as you seek to carry the gospel to all the world. We love you!
Suzie & Carl

I am glad to see you posting updates already! I am praying for you both as you reacclimate to the mission field again. Your family is amazing and will be missed, but I am excited to find ways to partner together to work the harvest.
You are a blessing and a living testimony to the power of God.
God bless you all. Glad you arrived safely. God does indeed keep track of His own and provides us with what we need.
I haven't been to the PI since the late 70's. What I remember is the Filipino people could take just about anything and make it better, from music, to model making, to the silver schools, and the monkeypod wood carvings.
I know with your help God will use them to take the Gospel and make it more real to the people there.
God Bless you both and thank you for your willingness to serve.

I prayed for you both today. Satan's a punk so I asked for your protection :)
