We've just spent the loveliest two days with Alvin and his new family.

Adonika was asking if she could play with Aubrey. So they invited us to the hotel where they are staying in Manila to go swimming.

We spent literally the whole day beside the pool, and had such a nice time. Aubrey and Adonika shared their toys and played as if by a script. Adonika told her mom, 'I like Aubrey. I could marry him. I just have to learn English and then we can talk.'

Today we picked them up at their hotel for breakfast before bringing them to Union Church with us. After church we did some shopping and then went out to the Gunderson's house for a barbecue.

On the way down to the hotel, Adonika was singing, making up her own lyrics. Her mom translated some of them,

'In my eyes there's Alvin; the world is full of wonder.'

She was very proud that he had put his hand in his as he went to sleep.
