I cannot remember the last time I was as excited as I am right now! I am writing this letter on March 10, 2020, from a hotel room in Cebu City, where I am awaiting the arrival of two of the most influential men in my life, my father and my [...]
The year 2020 is upon us! It is incredible to think that it has been nearly 2½ years since our arrival in Dapitan! It seems like it was just last week we were on deputation, wondering if we’d ever get back to the field. So much has happened [...]
