Yesterday as we were leaving the boat from our return trip from Bohol it was POURING down rain....For all of you back in the states who think you have seen heavy rain, you ain't seen nothing til you've seen this water that the Lord picks up from the Pacific Ocean and drops on these islands.....
It was the biggest fattest rain and it was coming down so hard you could hardly see.....
As we left the boat there were several dock workers who had umbrellas trying to shield us but needless to say it didn't work....... the water was pouring off of the sides and getting us all, specifically mama, really wet......
While we were running and in a hurry to get out of the rain, the ankle deep rain water swept away mama's "rainbow" flip flops... FYI: Rainbows are expensive name brand flip flops....... Anyway in the middle of the flooding rains mama goes after her prized flip flop all while screaming and waving her hands trying to fend off the rain...... I LAUGHED TIL I CRIED... I just wish it had not been raining so I could have caught it all on video... of course had it not been raining the story would not have been near as funny.... I have tried to retell the story today to many people but cannot get through it without laughing my head off......
Tomorrow we are gonna experience the Larsien's BBQ park..... For those of you who heard our SS presentation...that is where you can eat the chicken intestine, chicken feet, and Balut.. Something tells me mama and Mandie may be hungry..... I will definitely have pics!!!!
Below are some more videos I added from yesterday when we went to Bohol...The first one is from the Loboc River...and the second one is from the Chocolate Hills

Hey Jed- I was wondering if you were going to get to eat BBQ for the 4th. I guess if you don't think about what you're actually eating it goes down easier. Checking your blog and Matt's everyday.., seeing your pictures and watching the videos is almost like being there with you. I love you guys and I am so very proud of you both. You heard the call and you answered. God in all of His infinite wisdom knew who would follow His calling. Thank you. Take care and I love you.

Matt Matt didn't say yesterday it was a Rainbow flop...I definitely would be chasing that one. I am so glad you are having a great time with your mom and Mandie.
It was a WONDERFUL surprise to hear your sweet voices on the phone this morning. It did my heart and mind so much good to talk to "my boys". I love you both and I miss you more than I can say. I was coming down 176 last night from Mama & Daddy's and I passed Belcher Rd and you immediately came to my mind! I am thrilled you are enjoying your "new" home. Thanks for all the updates...we love to read them.
I will miss you tonight at rehearsal. :(
Love ya, mean it!

What a wonderful experience it must be for you and Matt.. I hope your teachings will be as fun when school starts. We missed the trumpet tonight. Ju Ju said she got to talk with ya'll. She was surprised and excited.
Later
poo-poo, I would have died laughing so hard at your mama if I was there. I laughed when I read it. I can only imagine. I miss you all.
