Events of July
Hello all,
How is everyone doing back home? Congratulations to Ryan and Jayna, Nichole told me about the proposal. I am so happy for you two. I wish you both the best of luck in the future but I'm sure you won't need luck you two are great together.
Well I am doing alright over here. There is not too much to report on. I joined a rugby team in Manila a few weeks ago and I go down and practice when I can. right now we are not allowed into Manila because of the protests but they'll let us back soon so I can get a practice in before a tournament in late August. I went to practice two weekends ago and it was really fun. The team are mostly people from different countries like Australia and Brittain. they are all nice and the field is really great. I was also able to hang out with my friend Jef from Solano who is studying for the accountancy exam in Manila. It was great to see him again, we saw a movie, I introduced him to a javanila shake from seattles best coffee, he showed me the sights of Manila like Rizal park, city hall and the waterfront. It was a very beatiful place to visit. Too bad I forgot my camera. After that we just talked until my bus came. It was a really fun weekend.
The kids at the center are doing fine, they are attending school and doing what kids do. We are down to nine kids on the soccer team now. Every week we have less kids for practice and the tournament starts next weekend so I don't know if we are going to participate in the tournament if none of the other kids join back up.
As for me I was in the hospital for about a week. The doctor said I had influenza and some fluid in my right lung. I just got out today and seem to be doing better, but I am still tired all the time and have a bit of a cough. For most of this month I have been in kind of a funk. My demeanor is very calm and I can't seem to get excited about learning the language or finding new ways to play with the kids. I'm not sure what's going on with me but I hope to get out of this funk eventually. It probably has to do with my sickness. I let the illness get pretty bad before going to the doctor.
Well that's all for now. I miss you all back home and enjoy hearing from you so write a comment please. Okay until next time, keep it real!

Hey John, you just said you had a fever...I never thought it was quite serious. I think I should be part of the blame because it rained when we went out to Rizal Park and we were quite drenched. Just keep it up man...I mean your enthusiasm and attitude to serve. Just remember that we are here for you and I know that you have what it takes to conquer impossibilities and realize possibilities.
May God protect you from any harm or sickness. Ingatz lagi 'tol!

Hi John
I hope you are feeling better and getting your strength back. Mom and I took Aunt Bunty and the boys back up to Canada Fri. and put them on their plane back to Scotland-She called on Sat and said they got home OK.Be sure and take your maedicine and next time your not feeling well go to the Dr. don't wait! We all went out to Ballard and Jason and Todd and I got fitted for our kilts and Roberta picked out the Tartan. Next week we move Roberta's stuff from her house down to the new house in Olympia and Sunday we are going to the Highland Games. Well that about it for now talk to you later. Love
Mom and Dad
