Wednesday

Yesterday was a good day as we mostly hung around IFL. We did take Rex to a doctor in the evening as he's been scratching and tugging on his ear. Turns out he had a big clump of ear wax that was bothering him. We were glad to get it out before the plane ride. Entertaining him for an hour and a half in the waiting area was interesting...we played a game where we started at the end of the hall and tapped on the door three times, then we walked to the other end and tapped three times, and so forth. We did this many times. Then jumped and danced, and had chocolate milk, and played with his planes. Feel free to use any of these ideas next time you have to wait.

Heidi taught a class in the afternoon to the high school students who run the school newspaper. She shared tips on photography along with examples from pictures she has taken. She did a great job--very clear and she communicated her passion for photography. By the way, Heidi has a blog and his posting updates and new pictures. Her latest blog post is about the feeding program and has so many awesome pictures from the day: http://www.heidilynnephotography.com/blog/

Asia is doing a wonderful job at being patient and understanding with Rex. When he gets tired, he gets a little rough. He doesn't seem liike he's used to playing with younger children, as his foster family had teenagers in it. So that is a prayer request...that Rex will learn how to share and play with Asia and Asia will continue to be patient in the process.

Today is our last full day at IFL and then tomorrow we'll spend it in Manila.

Bless you!

Chris
