Reverend Ronald Jones was an evangelical pastor in Timanan, Upi. He had since left Philippines and went back to United States. He pastored in Wasilla, Alaska for some time but is now retired and lives in Tacoma, Washington. My husband Lucas is a good friend of the reverend and they keep in touch through Facebook. Since we were in Seattle, we decided to visit the good reverend at his home in Yakima, Tacoma. It took us about 3 hour ride to reach his place but it was worth the travel. We did enjoy the road ride and simply happy to see the good reverend in high spirit with his wife Karen in their cozy beautiful retirement house.
On our way, we passed by Ellensburg and ate lunch at a certain rustic place called Daily Bread. The cashier was doned in some kind of an Amish outfit and the other girls in long apparel. I so wanted o take a picture with the cashier in Amish garb but I was just afraid to be rude and offend her. I opted to stay put and behaved myself.
For lunch, I ordered a bowl of broccoli cream soup and half a turkey sandwich. A copy of Our Daily Bread book was on the table.
Took a picture of the establishment.
Decided to ride through the Tacoma Canyon Road instead of the highway. Took time for some photo ops.
Took more pictures from the car.

Finally, we reached our destination. Here's Lucas and Rev. Ron Jones inside the pastor's home.
Get together photo.
Nice seeing you both Reverend and Karen Jones. God's willing, we may see each other again.
