.Lemuel is now 8 and Justin is 5. One thing we really enjoy is watching our boys growing close to each other. They are very different but they also have a lot of the same likes (legos, cars, books before bed, etc). Lemuel has improved a lot in his reading since we got back to the Philippines and Justin as a passion for learning.
My lovely wife has been working hard homeschooling along with educating our children. Also, Haydee teaches at the Mothers Ministry from time to time at YWAM Laguna Center.  Beginning this month, Michaella and her will be serving in our local church helping at the Kids Church Ministry.  God has been good to us!

It has been 5 years since we have been back to the States. It is clear in our hearts that now is the time. Michaella prays every night that God will make it possible for us to go to the States this year.
We are still busy this year up through half of October where we will be in Battambang, Cambodia helping out with the DTS Equip. But after that we want to head to the States so we can be there during the holidays! But this does not say there are not challenges. We need some things to take place to make that can happen. Here is what we are looking at:

1. We still need about $800 for government paperwork, passports (for Haydee and two of our kids) and visa cost (Haydee's Visa). We need this ASAP as some of these things take time.
2. We need around $7000 for plane tickets (round trip from Manila to Denver, Colorado). Airline tickets have been going up the last few years. Currently this is what I need if I got the tickets now. The price could go up in the coming months.
3. When we are in the States we also need a car. We will at first be staying in Colorado. So if you or of you know someone who is willing to let us use their car awhile we are in Colorado. If possible if we could drive the car out of State, that would be great. But if not that is okay too.

We would like you to please pray and ask God if you should give give toward this trip. If God doesn't lead you to give, please do pray that we can get all we need to make this happen. If you would like to give CLICK HERE.

We got a big God. He can make this happen. Thank you for those who stand with us through giving and through prayer.
