Eli and Elsie at the Jose Rizal Execution Site

My Dear Excellent Ones,

Happy New Year!  2012 was an incredible year for me.  Thank you for your prayers and concen.  I really appreciate it and your encouragement helped me a lot.  

On the 29th of December me and the kids had a seven hour lay over in Manila.  We spent a big part of the time at Rizal Park and saw the following.

God bless you.

Love adios and peng on!
