06/23/13:   Attended church this morning at St Stephens United Methodist church.  It is the first sermon in English I have heard in over 1 month.  Listening to the choir sing this morning was also different …  as I still hear (in the back of my mind) the Deaconess students' angelic voices filling the church with the native language, Tagalog.  Obviously I am still adjusting to life back home in the states.  

I am reminded that I left Dr Angie with 2500 Pesos to purchase some story books in Taytay for the Upper Javier Pre-K school children.   I advised Dr Angie that I would also purchase books from the local MAM resale shop and ship them to Olive for the Pre-K school.   I will followup with Olive in the next week.

I am also reminded that Sandy at St Stephens UMC has a closet of material collected for sewing projects, and I am thinking about shipping some to the Sewing Center.
