A Late Farewell


Well last Sunday our new friends from Utah (the Fosters) left us after a 2 month stay in the Philippines. Sam Foster works with Focus and came to help train Ryan and teach him some new skills. He brought his beautiful family with him and they rented a house just down the road from us. It was so wonderful to have another family here that could understand the different trials we've had and to experience how wonderful the Philippines can be.
The kids; Alex (6yrs) and Meadow (3yrs) both attended the school Brayden is enrolled at and Brayden quickly became quite attached to his new friends, as did we. The time flew by and now it is slowly sinking in that they are really gone. The last weekend they were here we were able to get together every night and get in as much Foster goodness as we could! Unfortunately for them their last week was filled with three seperate trips to the hospital, two sets of stiches and Alex actually spent a couple nights admitted! Their strength, courage and positive attitudes were such an example to us as I would have lost my mind in their situation! Hopefully when we end up back in Utah we will be fortunate enough to end up close to Morgan where we can get together often! The companionship and friendship they showed us was an answer to prayers as we were getting a little very lonely!

Thank you Fosters for everything, we are already missing you!!

  1. That must've been so nice to have someone there. Well, it goes to show that Heavenly Father cares, and sends whoever he can.
