october adventures

October brought a new adventure for Precious and for us.  It was exciting and she had a lot of fun.  She was asked by her teacher if she would like to be a girl scout.  The girl scout program is run through the school system and only a certian number of kids can join each year and it is usually by teacher recommendation.  She was happy to have the chance and worked hard to learn the scout law and code and to prepare all that was asked of her by the scout leader,  The second weekend of october was scouting camp weekend.  They left saturday morning and came home late Sunday afternoon.  Jonah went and spent most of the weekend there with her but just to observe and watch out.  He help to act as a parent chaperone.  Precious was very tired when she came home but had a great time and said she cannot wait till next year.  She thinks that next year she will come home after the evening program so that she can sleep better.  The next weekend Jonah had to travel for a funeral.  The leader of the denomination passed away so he with my brother and sister in law traveled to Negros for the funeral.  They where gone the whole weekend.  The end of this month was semester break for all of the kids.  They had two weeks off from school.  We spent part of the first week in Cebu as a family to spend time together and relax.  That is the best way for us to get away from the daily life here so we do that every three months or so.  We spent the rest of break just around home playing and having fun with all the kids here.  We also took updated pictures of the kids at the orphanage and our family.  I tried to upload the pictures but the internet is not liking that idea.  will try again later.  Hope you are all well.  God bless.
