Just beginning to breathe...

Hello Friends and Family! We have been extremely busy and struggling with internet so have done a terrible job of keeping the blog updated. We have been met by warm and generous people everywhere we have gone so far. We have spent the first week in Cotabato City and have all had many firsts including eating the durian fruit. Today is our first rest day and I think we are all getting some exercise and catching up on email and trying to figure out how we will fit all of the beautiful gifts we have received so far. I cannot express how generous everyone is with their homes, their time, and their businesses. More to come soon!
