This week, Gary celebrated another birthday! This makes 2 post stem cell transplant birthdays! We are so thankful that God has given him another year to serve here in the Philippines. On his birthday, we had a few missionary friends over for a wonderful evening of fellowship and laughter. Gary spent that morning playing golf and was excited that he has broke 100 for the 2nd time since his cancer.
This Sunday, at Bethel Baptist Church, Quezon City, the members surprised Gary with a birthday celebration.
They presented him with a cake .....
Cards and gifts from the church members .....
A hand drawn portrait by Pablo Barros .....
Special number from the ladies .....
Recited Scripture from Dolly Daquioag .....
Special song composed and written just for Gary by Jamie Barros .....
A "Shout Out" from the men ..... 
Special rendition of "Happy Birthday" by the Barros' brothers .....
And along with a video of our Bible Club Children and members singing and greeting Gary, they put together a video, complete with greetings from our children and grandchildren in the States. I cannot get it to upload on this post, so go HERE to see it. They featured two of our precious babies at Bethel. I would like to thank our children, grandchildren, family and friends and especially our Bethel Family for making this a week one for Gary to remember and cherish for years to come.
