Man U

For those who know my husband, especially ROG members, you know he is a die hard ManU fan/fanatic ( and that is putting it mildly!). Last night there was a big game between ManU and some blue team (I am pretty much clueless...). He allowed the girls to stay up for the game - their normal bedtime is between 8.30 to 9.00 pm and the game started at 10pm and went all the way to 1 am! Vickie managed to watch the first goal by ManU and then went to bed at 11, I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't. Tony was too nervous to watch the game, so he was in his "prayer room" pretending to read and would take a peek once in a while, Kathryn was also giving him updates every 10 minutes or so, besides, there was a crowd cheering near our house and I could hear them from my bedroom. I gave up and joined Kathryn at about 12.30am and managed to see the penalty shootout.

I was really glad Man U won simply because I am now living with three very HAPPY people :-) but I must say that my heart went out to the blue team (not sure if it's Chelsea or Liverpool or Arsenal....or whatever!). Their captain was inconsolable and something about a grown man crying so hard and at the same time trying to be brave - made me feel so sorry for their team. I asked my family if they felt bad for him, their answer was, "it's ok, he'll get over it!" Sigh....so much for compassion......

Anyways, my deepest sympathy to the the blue team and congrats to the Reds!

Good for Man U and Tony and the girls! Growing up, Tony was usually surrounded by Liverpool fans. Even when we played on the FGT team together, he would dribble the ball while trying to emulate one of the old Man U stars and commentate at the same time! Very talented! All-in-all, Tony was a true striker and he scored quite a few goals. What a guy! What a brother-in-Christ! Man U! Man U! Man U!

To blog or not to blog is the question....

I was wondering if I should keep this blog when we relocate to Malaysia??? I know that our friends in Malaysia and elsewhere are interested about our lives in Kenya but Malaysia??? I am not sure... I am thinking about it... write me a comment if you think I should keep it up!! Some random pics.... This is Max longing for his daddy. He did this the entire time that Tony was in Malaysia.. poor baby! He loves Tony! Awwww......(the girls' favorite expression!) Kat took some pictures around campus....pretty eh? This huge pine tree is on our front yard. This is one of Vickie's teachers. The middle school was raising funds for some social projects and he challenged them if they raised a certain amount he would shaved off his beard and if they raised even more money, he would shave his hair as well! Brave man and they did raised the funds!! Too bad I didn't get the 'after' picture! Vickie is on the far left, as a stage hand during one of their drama production. She ...

A clean bill of Health!

We have been busy with different appointments.....the girls got their vaccination, Tony and I had a general checkup - cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure and several other health issues checked. We are basically healthy. Tony needs to have a minor surgical procedure (on his back) which we still have to work on - finding the surgeon,etc. We also went to the dentist today and the girls and I have NO cavities!!!!! The dentist did some cleaning for us but Tony did have to have a filling done. All in all, the Phangs are in pretty good health - Praise the Lord!! We are also so grateful to our doctor and dentist for giving us their services so lovingly and generously- we are so bless! Another friend (we kinda met on this blog:-) got us rooms in a hotel in Penang, a holiday island- kind of! Woohoo!!!! We will get to have a vacation after our ministry time in Ipoh - we are so looking forward to that. Last evening, we took Tony's mom and sister out for a meal and visited with the...

Getting Ready for yet another trip!

Before I forget, I wanted the friends who have left comments on this blog to know that I read your comments as they are automatically sent to my email address. I tried replying to the address in the emails but it doens't get to you - it just redirects me to this blog again. Anyways, I want you to know that I appreciate the comments- tells me someone is reading what I am writing - I wonder sometimes!! Ok, two evenings ago I had another invite to join an evangelist to Goma, also in DRC. They are doing a crusade there- I cannot tell you how much I want to join them but I can't - not this time anyways. We are in the midst of preparing to return to Malaysia for two months to reconnect with churches and friends who supports our work here and also to give our report. We are also trusting God to connect with more people and churches who are interested in our work here. We need to raise so much more to empower and release more laborers to a ripen harvest in AFrica. I am so overwhelm wit...
