| St Paul's Church Ruins; first Christian Church in China. It was build between 1602-1640. |
I did not showed you our official missionary badges. We have them on everywhere we go. It is another reminder we are representatives of Jesus Christ. We see people braking their neck to read the name badges as we pass by.

In the humility note, this 9 year old plays the piano for all the of the church services at one of the branches. He is fantastic! I can hardly play the radio.

In life we tell ourselves we will never do certain things. For me me it was never wear, tennis shoes with your suit or dress pants. Well, I sprained my ankle and got Planters Factitious. You got it! Below is the result! Soon I will probably be wearing plastic pocket protectors!
We continue to work with these marvelous Chinese and Filipino people. They are amazing!! The Chinese government published that their are 18 million members. It is expected to grow by upto 5% a year for the next 15 years. Some project by 2050 China could be the largest Christian nation. It is amazing.
When I was a missionary in the Southern Far East mission in 1966-1967, we had missionaries in the Philippines we had only a few thousand members and not 48 years later there are 680,000 members in the Philippines. Christianity is growing in the Far East!!
On May 17th Macau will become a District and hopefully grow to a Stake in a few years!! We are all excited. It is wonderful to see the church growing.
