Today a little light is diminished in our lives.  The bright beam of the Philippines MTC is dimmed as we return early from our assignment at the Philippines Missionary Training Center.  What an incredible ride it has been.  We would never have dreamed the circumstances that we would go through when we first arrived.  We know the only way such a story could be told is because we had angels and a protective shroud around us.  Our lives have definitely been changed for good.

We now look forward to seeing our loved ones and a new granddaughter who has joined us.  With the COVID-19 Pandemic, it will a different world we return to.  We will figure out the best way to maneuver it and enjoy association with our dear family who we love so dearly.

At 5 a.m. we were picked up and taken to the airport.  We never would have guessed that there would be a departing group of beloved teachers to see us off.  Bro. Jovanne Lopez, Lee and Christian and other teachers that live nearby, sent us away with an extra tug in our hearts.  We have been through some mighty experiences together.  Ones that only those who lived it with us could truly understand. Farewell dear friends.  Until we meet again!
