I'm On My Way!

Hello Dear Friends and Family,

I created this blog upon the wonderful news of my new

granddaughter last year, and then did not follow up or publish it.

That is about to change! So much has already changed, and I find myself in the San Francisco International Airport with some time before I can check in for my flight to Manila.

Here is the website for Mercy In Action, the organization I am volunteering with:

http://www.mercyinaction.org/

You can just click on the link and go right there! Please do ask if you have any questions about it.

Here is the mailing address for me until January 2009:

Terri Woods

c/o Mercy In Action

P.O. Box 30714

Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro 5203

Philippines

Or c/o Ray and "Mike" Allen, PO Box 1944, Paso Robles, CA 93446

I will also have a cell phone for texting, and I am on Skype as well, which is a free computer to computer phone. Amazing, isn't it? If you are interested in those numbers, please just email me and I'll give them out.

Tutoring included ;-)

What a wonderful morning at Creston Church today. I am still quite touched by all of your well-wishes and prayers, and just blown away by your support. I have checked the suitcase with the blankets and hats, so lovingly made by women at church, and I will send pictures soon with the babies who will take them home! I have had such a wonderful month so far connecting with my beloved family and friends, and I know I will miss you. I am hoping that this new "techie" attempt on my part will help us all feel closer and connected. I need your prayers, but I also want to stay in touch so that I may pray for you as well. I am always encouraged by accounts of God's work in our lives.

In the meantime, above is a picture of Kate and Maia as they are now, on the beach near the house. And a picture of the Mercy In Action Maternity Center in White Beach, a short tricy ride away.

I hope to have some personal stories to share with you by the middle of June. And a definition of "tricy" So Stay Tuned!

Yours in Christ,

Terri
