Asian Excursion

We're in the philippines! We arrived on Sunday morning at 4:30am here. We went to visit some families that Devan taught on his mission and my eyes were definitely opened. It's so crazy to see how these people live here. I have taken lots of pictures, but don't have the cord to plug in my camera here. I'll post lots of pictures when we get home. Today we went to a place called Tagaytay and it was beautiful! There were hills of pineapple fields and rice fields and banana and coconut trees. I can't get enough fruit here, especially the mangos. They are SO much better here than in the states! Devan's company has a call center here, and that's where we're at right now. He's in talking with some employees and I got bored so I found the computer. We will be here for 2 more days and then head to China on Thursday morning for 6 days. I'll post when we get home from this crazy trip.

I am so glad that you both arrived in safety! Don't you just love that the internet is the same where ever you may be! It was fun to go to lunch with you and the girls last week! Have fun and be safe!

Lexie, they make a cool flash (thumb) drive if you ever get to a place like Walmart or probably a Office supply store. The flash drive comes with a camera card, then you will have an extra one. Then you can put your card right into the flash drive, and upload your pictures without using a cord. It's way easier than using the cord. You'll love it.
