Short and Sweet

Hi All
So I would love to write you a nice long blog to catch everyone up but the bitter truth is that I simply do not have a lot of time considering the fact that I start my journey home in 2.5 days time  So I shell hit on the highlights.

May flew in with an immense amount of busyness, there was a trip to Manila with Ellora to get her visa stuff sorted.  We certainly had some adventures, without going into too much detail we ended up seeing more of Manila than we anticipated, no we weren't lost we just had a hard time locating a bus terminal where we could book a ride back to Tabuk.  But no worries we made it home safe and sound :) We even has some time to see some of Mall of Asia



When we returned home we soon become heavily involved with academics we were taught about breech birth, newborn resuscitation, and several sessions on Herbs.  We completed our herb assignment which was very interesting but very time consuming and required a lot of focus, did a brief statistics course and started on another assignment.

Two Interns have come to join our family for a month! sadly I have only been able to be here with them for two weeks, as they will be gone by the time I get back from Canada which brings me to my next set of business

As I mentioned earlier I am coming back to Canada in just 2.5 days! for four weeks my sister and her husband will pick me up at Vancouver airport and drive me home.  because this is a public blog and all I won't give many details about the flight or schedule.
You can definitely pray that I manage to get everything together in the next two days, as I have been swamped with homework and have only just started packing.  I still have some homework to finish up and clinic life is also busy.  I am very much hoping I do not forget anything before I leave.  And for those of you who have been following this blog since the beginning you know that I have a history of not always feeling very well on long flights, so please pray that I do not get sick in any shape or form.

There was some sad news received this last week as I found out that a good friend of the family passed away very unexpectedly, it was terribly shocking news and has brought great grief to anyone who has ever known him especially for his family.  I think most of you know to whom I am referring to.  Please remember the whole Vollans and Flagel families in your prayers.

Thank you for your prayers concerning the clinic things have picked up considerably this month and we have been much busier which is always good!

On this note I will close this blog post I know it is shorter than usual but hopefully I will see most of you soon so I can talk to you in person, I hope most of you can make it to me fundraiser event, (you do not have to give money to come :) this mission needs prayer warriors too!) I will be dividing my time between Vavenby and  Kamloops, I am trying to keep traveling to minimum as I have very little time in Canada.
Blessings to you all!

Up coming event....

So....in four weeks I fly back to Canada for 30 days.  I have set a date for a fundraiser/get-together  following is the information concerning said event.

A Merienda Evening!
June 13, 2015 at 6:30 in the evening. It will be held at Vavenby Christian Church, Vavenby B.C. The evening will start off with a video about the clinic, slideshow and my ramblings and stories.

 Following we will have Merienda! Merienda is something like the English' tea time or coffee time and always consists of some form of food (usually sweet).  I am planning on making two Filipino dishes often served for Merienda and am also asking people to bring goodies and finger food.  so if any of you feel like doing brining anything do let know.  We can then socialize and hang out for the rest of the evening.  If you have facebook the page for the event is

Many Blessings y'all and looking forward to seeing my Canadian family and friends in a few weeks!
