Feb. 16 - Celebrating a long-time friend's birthday.
Feb. 23 - We had a wonderful "Siblings Day" at one of Ruth's sister's home in Maine. Here's four of us sisters with a much loved sister-in-law. Unfortunately I failed to get a group picture of us with the men.
March 17 - Ruth enjoyed introducing two Filipino wives to each other, both from the same general area in the Philippines, and both married to North American husbands, plus a delightful daughter.
Father and daughter bottle feeding kid goats that Ruth once again was helping her niece raise to sell as pets.
March 29 - One of Ruth's sisters, her son and his family overnighted with Ruth's brother, the owner of the farm where Ruth lives. A group picture of one of our meals together.
One of Ruth's great nieces helping Ruth's niece to feed the kid goats, now old enough to drink from the bottle stand.
Ruth's sister enjoying the treat of bottle feeding the younger kids.
March 31 - Ruth once again joined her sister-in-law's family Easter dinner; a group picture.
One more picture of the kid goats; six in this picture but since then, two more have gone to their new homes.
April 12 - Taken by a neighbor of the farm I grew up on. The farmhouse is tucked in behind the neighbor's white house to the left, but the dairy barn and hay barn are clearly visible. God's spectacular creation, including the rainbow with the attached promise!
Pictures below are from the previous blog.

A VOICE Training in which 100+ potential values teachers participated, representing 46 churches!
As highlighted in the blog, a huge answer to prayer unfolded as permission to teach Biblical values in the Krus na Ligas Elementary School was granted...the school where all of the modules were test taught! One of the non-green-T-shirt people is the Division Secretary who shed tears upon learning that a program such as VOICE exists.
A promotion for what-was-then an upcoming training which was organized in part by the City Counselor who is also a brother in Christ and part of Gideons!
Two other planning meetings for VOICE Trainings took place in Central Philippines (Visayas) in which Kuya Jess, VOICE Philippines Director, (far right in yellow, 1st picture) participated. One of those trainings was requested by a Department of Education City Division Superintendent saying teenage pregnancies in the high schools are growing at an alarming rate. He requested that the first module to be taught be "Thankfulness and True Love/Purity."
A government program for the "poorest of the poor" being taught by VOICE Trained volunteers in a church. Some of VOICE modules are included in the program.

Dec. 16 - Laura's Values/Baking class baked and then decorated Christmas cookies--quite a treat for them!
Dec. 16 - You've seen such pictures before...Mom Bonney's favorite pastime...but this time her son also joined in.
Dec. 20 - Laura celebrated Christmas a bit early with some of her elementary school classmates!
Dec. 24 - We're together again, Ruth with her Canadian/second Mom!
Dec. 23 - Can't be around Mom too long without getting into a game of either Dominoes or RummeyKub.
Dec. 24 - Christmas Eve dinner together
Dec. 25 - Laura joined a few Filipinos and one Indian gal for Christmas at one of Laura's church-mate's home. As they reviewed together why we celebrate Christmas, she learned that the Indian girl had never heard the story before! What a privilege too share it with her; she even accepted the offer of a Bible.
Dec. 28 - The Bonney siblings, those who weren't sick, gathered to celebrate Christmas at Laura's brother's home
A nice group photo after lunch
Dec. 30 - Laura, with Ruth as her assistant, baked up her Christmas specialty, Scandinavian Kringle, to share with neighbors.
Jan. 6 - Ruth and Laura were invited for a meal at her nephew's home--always a special time
A more relaxed group picture of all of us
Jan. 9 - We traveled to Moncton to connect with a long-time friend and prayer partner.
Jan. 11 - We were invited for a delicious venison meal at the home of long-time friends and supporters.
Jan. 14 - Finally, all the Bonney siblings were in good health and so they gathered once again at Laura's brother's home.
Jan. 19 - A nice time with friends who also share a love for Uganda. We were in Uganda for at least two of their annual visits to a ministry caring for abandoned children.
Jan. 20 - The first Values/Baking class of 2024...but only this energetic guy was able to come. Chocolate chip cookies were the menu for that day!
Jan. 21 - Laura took these three Filipinos, one of them who was "new" to her, to an evening church service and then a snack together. It's a rather rare privilege to be able to take them to church since most have to work on Sundays.
Jan. 22 - The morning Ruth left for home, we all ate breakfast with Mom and snapped one last picture together. What a blessing to be able to spend time with her and the Bonney family

Dec. 18 - Ruth, her brother and his wife, visited their almost 92-year-old Uncle.
Dec. 19 - A simple Christmas meal together with Ruth's brother, wife and daughter plus cute Poppy who didn't want to look at the camera
Dec. 21 - Ruth headed to Maine and stopped for a quick visit with friends in Jefferson. They always have a unique Christmas tree with ornaments literally from around the world.
Dec. 22 - After spending a night with her sister and husband in Maine, Ruth had to snap a quick picture before getting back into the car and heading to New Brunswick.
Jan. 23 - On Ruth's way back to New Hampshire, she spent a night at her usual "hotel," a sister and husband in Burnham, ME, (no picture) and then stopped for a quick visit with another sister who had just "adopted" a new puppy, Zippy, the night before. From there, she returned to New Hampshire, rejoicing in all of the memories of a special time.

Love seeing the pictures of your life there. Will be praying for you as you minister to the little ones on Thursday...and look forward to seeing some pictures of their precious faces.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting to see highlights of your travel! We pray for wisdom and discernment for the VOICE ministry in a different context. I'm sure you must often think, "this is the way we did it in the Philippines". May the Lord lead and guide. We're starting to feel like winter is coming--no frost yet, but maybe later this week. Blessings, Jake & Lillian
ReplyDeleteWhat a Saviour indeed! I think the banner with the lion and the Lamb is such a cool, tangible reminder to the two of you of the presence of the Lion of Judah
ReplyDeleteNice to be able to see some of the process in picture form.
ReplyDeleteWELL! you ladies are just like machines...........you don't quit going and going and going.........churning out materials and entertaining and teaching and and and........... SO LOVED hearing about Joyce's new awareness of being special to God. I read it to my sister Christine as she experienced much the same awareness when she was nine and it changed her life too!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the pictures. The last one from last week (that looks like a pink blossom having a bad hair day) reminds me of mimosa which I remember from the southern US.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures except for number 4...about which I have one word - YUCK!
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS Ruth and Laura! Praise God for His indescribable Gift and His goodness in letting us be used to offer that Gift to others.
ReplyDeleteYour family is such an example of living for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ Ruth. Thank you for sharing it with us through these pictures and comments. Prayers for you as you return to Uganda! Words fail to express what's in our hearts for you at this time. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you might get to see Mon. Glad it worked out to get together--before that unexpected medical emergency! We'll be praying for a good recovery.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing all these pictures. I missed last week's for some reason. Thanks for taking the time to share the beauty of Uganda, the work God is doing through you and the people He has chosen to share your journey.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Fun to share your journey. Laura, you are a very diverse driver...not only can you adjust to driving on either side of the road in various driving conditions, it looks like you'd make a fine boda driver too.
ReplyDeletePraying you are both recovering from jet lag and adjusting to being back in North America.
