Camping & Fishing

Cooper could not figure out how to keep his hotdog on his plate, or his chips and bun. So much for bear proofing our camp. He was just facinated with staring at the fire. Oakley had to put some serious thought in how to get her hot dog on.

Cant Leave Him for a Second

Powdered Sugar - I had no idea he knew how to move the stool...

Baptism By Fire And Water

Our Area Medical Advisor serving in Manila had family visit last week. They brought thier 5 sons and the youngest one, Sam, just turned 8 and as the family is very wealthy they were looking for an exotic baptismal spot. The older boys were all baptised in oceans around the world. They were thinking of the China Sea for Sam and I said "How many people can say they have been baptised in a volcano?" and I suggested hiking to Lake Pinatubo. They loved the idea of being baptized with "fire and water". It was a great day and we were happy to be able to share it with the Jafek family.

Rhube and I got to spend the night in the mountain meadows above the city...

Typhoon Conson

This is the road just outside out gate.

Taken from our driveway, the road in front of our house.

This is the latest typhoon to come ashore in our area. The media always makes more of these things than we do. It does'nt take much wind and rain to wash away a house with no foundation made of sticks and grass or gathered junk. For these people it is all taken in stride, a part ov their everyday lives.
