A Glimpse of our First Week…

…in the Philippines!

We spent our first week in Iloilo on the island of Panay. We stayed with Missionary Don Newsom and his family and taught music and evangelism classes at a Bible School in the mornings and afternoons. Bro. Newsom also has a home for abused or abandoned children (Dorcas House) that we were able to visit a couple of afternoons. We fell in love with the children there! Here are a few pictures from that week.

We wanted to bring this little girl home. She is six months old and is so precious.

She has the most beautiful smile!img_0211
