Birthday Blessings

Elizabeth Baran

 September 28th marked Elizabeth’s second birthday since we moved to the Philippines.  It has been a blessing to see how well she has adjusted to living here. She is learning the language and starting to feel brave enough to use what she knows. People are shocked when they hear her say something in Cebuano. Cebu is one of the top ten tourist destinations in the world so a lot of foreigners come and go and never really speak Cebuano. So when Elizabeth speaks, people are very curious why she is learning their language. I am very thankful for Elizabeth’s willingness to be a missionary’s wife, so far from home, in a land that is very different from her own. Happy Birthday sweetheart!
