A Bollywood true love story in the Philippines - our very own - plus updates

Do you remember the "public talk" experience 2 blog entries ago?  And there was just one woman out of the 16+ who gave us her number?  This is her house! She finally said yes to a visit, but right after I called and confirmed, her friends called to tell her they were coming over.  The woman explained when we arrived, "I didn't want to tell them no, and I didn't want to cancel on you, so can we hurry? " I said sure! We can have a short 10 min discussion - Well, this photo was taken 45 min later - as each guest arrived, we had to start over. . . .Note: men usually sit separate from women, - guess where we, are?  Hint: do you "see us" in the women section???? Exactly my point, just scandalous aren't we. . . (sb and SB adventures part III)

Look familiar?
On the jw.org Tacloban movie, remember the girl Cheryl - her whole family died in the storm but then she was happily reunited with her one brother John, before the DC. That's them. My landlord (an elder in our cong)  will become their legal guardian, and a family who also survived the Tacloban disaster will leave Tacloban to raise these kids on this part of the island.  Seeing them at the meeting is truly encouraging to us and we pray they they find a measure of spiritual stability in their lives.
That is Sarina from Baypoint CA PJ cong, with them. She is here helping us for a few months.
What an amazing smile!

Another look familiar?  

Remember Karen from the October 15 2013 WT - the same article about serving where the need is greater in the Philippines?  She is the one preaching to a man on a buffalo - that's her attending the BSCC graduation - she said the man on the buffalo was her father - so cute!
