We landed in LA at 8:45 last night.... wow we're finally in America! Our dear friend Rommel Lamayo (Gary's former high school buddy) met us at the airport and brought us to In-n-Out(for our filipino friends, it's a fast food restaurant), after eating a hefty dinner, he toured us around LA..... we went to Hollywood, Beverly Hills and we passed by STAPLES CENTER, where the LA Lakers host their NBA games! We were so sleepy but we just could not let this chance slip away so we had to look at LA half awake, half asleep :) We went around until 2am and by the time he brought us back to the airport we already saw half of LA, thanks Mel..... you were really good to us, we knew you were tired and had to go to work that day.And again, we checked-in at 4am to go to Dallas and off to Kansas City. We were so tired when we arrived in Kansas, but seeing the place, it took all our tiredness away. Kansas is a beautiful city, our host Joshua & Val Manthe and his family welcomed us to their lovely home and the next morning we had our first Kansas breakfast - Biscuits & Gravy..... we love it!
We also had the time to see the shopping malls. Lunch was at Chipotle (a Mexican Restaurant). When the restaurant manager knew that we were new in town and just came from the Philippines, . PTL!
On our 3rd day here in Kansas, we were invited to preach at Elm Grove Baptist Church of Reverend Sandie & Debbie Seaba. The members are so sweet and good to us, you can really feel the love of Jesus. This church supports 70 missionaries worldwide. Right after the service the Reverend Seaba and his wife treat us to dinner. In fact, we were again invited to preach on March 18, Wednesday during the midweek service.
Today also, we had our first steak treat at Longhorn and a taste of the best ribs in town at Dave's Barbeque Grill. Wow, we were thinking of our gym instructor's warning before we left for the US, he said if we ever gain weight after 2 & 1/2 months in the US, he's going to increase our cardio exercise into 1 hour and our lifts reps will be double.... ouch! I think we have to jog starting tomorrow.
