I’ve just returned from a weeklong stay in the Philippines. I love to travel to this country and go as often as God permits me to do so. I cherish and enjoy my time with my fiancé and her daughters. One of the things we did in particular this time was to attend two church services on the two ... Read More about The inspiring faith of the Filipinos
