Update Nov 4, 2009

Greeting to you all. These last couple of days have been absolutely beautiful. The sun is out and the sky is a wonderful blue and it appears as if the rainy season is finally coming to an end. Not to say we will not still have the potential for storms, but if appears that the rainy season has closed for another year.

I am feeling so much better these last couple of days and have been sleeping well once again. I had a few bad days due to the side effects of one of the new meds I was put on, now that I am off it and on different drug my body has adjusted and I am feeling fine. We will continue this course of medicines for two months to see if they will produce the desired results. It is, of course, our prayer that they will. If not, and certainly the Lord already knows the answer to that question, then we will be forced to pursue some other procedures to deal with the heart problems I have been experiencing. Thank you for your prayers I am feeling so much better.

I am resuming this week some of the studies that I have been teaching. I was able to teach this past Sunday and will be teaching on Wednesday night and Friday afternoon down in Fatima. All of these studies require no climbing of stairs or steep hills. I can just park the car and walk in. After two weeks of little to no activity it really feels good to be back teaching again.

The last typhoon that was pointing right at us moved south and even missed Manila as the eye crossed about 60 kilometers south of the city. They still had some strong winds and rain and some flooding, but it was not as bad as it could have been.

Joyce and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary this past Monday. The Lord sure blessed me when he put that wonderful woman into my life.

Thank you all once again for your prayers. Lots to look forward to in the next months…we are excited about what the Lord has in store for us.
