6:00 am came early this morning after three days of sleeping in until 7:30. Jenny and I finished our lesson plans for the next two weeks and we are going to go to the market after school to make copies of our lessons. We also plan to do a little research for our vacation.
July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th is considered our "mid-summer vacation" and we are free to travel anywhere in the Philippines during that time. We are looking at traveling about 6 hours north (by bus) to Subic Bay where there is a beach resort. Hailey wants to swim with dolphins and I want to zip line through the jungle-- supposedly they offer both. We would travel Thursday afternoon to Manila and stay in Manila Thursday night. Friday we plan to go to the Mall of Asia all day. We would head north to Subic Friday night and stay there through Sunday morning.
I tried durian (spelling?) last night. It is a popular fruit that smells worse than most road kill. It's shell actually resembles a porcupine. Whats worse is that it doesn't taste much better than I imagine road kill would taste like. It was bad...
I was told that I won't be able to eat chicken head or pig intestine because of the way that it's prepared. Kuya Jeff said I would get typhoid fever. :)
Prayer Requests:
- The FBC Choctaw group in Nicaragua this week and their ministry there.
-My Christian education classes as I prepare to share my testimony and the plan of salvation.
-The orphans, that they always feel loved.
-My "home sickness" as I'm at the halfway point.
-Team unity and a shared vision.
- and most importantly, that God's will is done.
James 1:2-4 is my prayer today.
