Greg and Karmen Go to the Philippines: Part One


A few days after Christmas, we hopped on a plane to the Philippines to spend a week in the sun and visit our good friends, Darnell and Christina Barkman and their kids. We met the Barkmans about a year and a half ago at church through our small group. They left Canada seven months ago to live and minister in Manila with Mennonite Church Canada.

We were invited to spend New Years in a nearby city.
We toured one of the UP (University of  the Philippines) campuses.



This picture makes me laugh. Who looks more tired after midnight?


 Over an hour of fireworks viewed from the house, which overlooked the city.

Our lovely hosts. Sad that the picture is blurry.
