Hi Team! Here a quick update. I am sitting at the internet cafe, girls in school and Matthijs at home with the yaya. First of all Jocelyn has left for the tribes Sunday night, for one week. She is there with a team of young adults from Boise. Jocelyn will be helping with dentistry going into the local tribes outside of Tabuk. Please pray for her that God will use this time to refresh her and that she might have a great time. This is a good opportunity for her at this time when things are not settled yet in Manila. I am at home with the kids this week, keeping it all together...please pray for me aswell at this time. Update on the clinic is that there will be a meeting at city hall with the health department on Wednesday and also likely on Friday. This will be in regards to getting the clinic reopened with the Philipino midwives only. That is the first step. As to the future and timeframe, we don't know yet. I helped on Saturday with a medic dental outreach at the church, with Eva Fast. It was a great time! We saw God do a mirracle, bringing down the BP of an older lady after she went for prayer from 147/110 to 110/80 in halve an hour It was checked by myself and a nurse double checked just to make sure. We were all so greatful for this. Jocelyn's parents were here for one week and left on Sunday morning. We had a good time with them bringing them to some places and having them experience daily life here in Mandaluyong. Rainy season is upon us, the kids missed two days of school because of heavy rain, flooded streets and wind. This came at a good time so the kids could spent time with the grandparents. Bye for now, thanks for your prayers and support, Richard and the Fam.
