It has been a long time since we have posted any photos or text regarding Jacob.  He continues to be doing great.  He served the prior 6 months in and around an area called San Carlos City.  It is on Negros island just west of Cebu island.   He really enjoyed that area, and in particular having a vehicle (a truck) which was necessary to get to some of the areas he was responsible for.  Just this past week (July 1, 2015) he was transferred to an area called Bayawan, which is southwest on Negros island.  He was particularly excited that his new apartment will have air conditioning, which is a first for him.  Below are a number of photos (not necessarily in chronological order) over the prior 6 months.

Those who know Jacob knows he loves snakes.  He was thrilled to hold this burmese python.

I think they call this breadfruit

Missionary "service".  Check out Jacob's tongue (some things never change)

Check out the missionaries' shoes (all too common with the rain and dirt roads)

A form of transportation?

Love that smile
