Letters

Do you like to get mail?  I'm sure you don't like junk mail but what about letters from friends?

Last year our kids started to write letters to friends and family.  They didn't just send emails but mostly they were working on writing good old snail mail letters!  They sure have had fun writing these letters but they really enjoy getting letters back from people more!

Would you like to get a letter from one of our kids? Or even from one of us?  Would you like to write to one of our kids?

Here is our address:

PO Box 46240
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan 3500
Philippines

It takes about 2 weeks to arrive in the Philippines and then depending on when we supplies are coming in, it can take another 2 weeks to arrive in the village.  So please be patient for replies from us!

If you would like our kids to write to you, please send us an email with your mailing address and we will get them writing!  chuck_talbot@ntm.org

Maybe you were the lucky recipient of these letters earlier this year!

 

Teacher Samantha

The last post I put on this blog was 3 months ago and it was asking for a teacher for our kids.  It has been a busy 3 months and through it all the Lord has provided a teacher for our kids!  We are so very excited to introduce you all to Samantha Carr!

She heard about our need for a teacher through one of the kids old teachers, Jessica Peschka (Wease).  Jessica taught the kids for the 2009/10 school year.

Samantha comes from Michigan and loves to be involved with kids.  She has a heart for missions and saw this as a great opportunity to serve the Lord.  She will be with us until May 2015.

We are very excited to be picking her up from the airport in just under 36 hrs from now!

Please pray for Samantha as she adjusts to the Philippines, the heat and of course to our crazy family.

She gets a week in Manila with us and then we head north and just a few days later she will move into the village with us.  It will be a long 2 1/2 months living in the village for her.  Pray for her adjustment to living there.

Pray also as she jumps right into teaching the kids.  We have already started the school year and with 4 weeks of no school by the time we get back they will be eager to get started again.

Thanks for praying.
