Our Filipino House

from Seth

Well, it has been a while since we posted something new on here.  I suppose it has just seemed like there has not been a whole lot to talk about lately, so we have lapsed a bit on the blog posts.

However, since this is a question we have been hearing a lot as we have been meeting with small groups of supporters over the last month or so, we thought we would make a post about the house where we will be staying for our first year in Manila.  Below you will find some photos of the house we will be "sitting" for a missionary couple that is returning home to the States for a year starting this summer.  We are excited about God's provision of this house for our first year, and as you can see from the images, the house is furnished, which makes our lives much easier as we begin adjusting to the culture there.

The house also comes with an outdoor dog and cat, and an aquarium, all of which will need to be cared for.  But also, we will have a "helper" who will live at the house during the week.  She will help us with cooking, cleaning, and other things of that nature.  God has blessed us with this arrangement, and we look forward to getting to see this house in person when we arrive in Manila later this summer!
