Arrived in the Philippines at noon today. We took a four hour bus ride to a Baptist Campground were we'll be going through orientation for the next few days. It's been raining all day long. It's not like a normal rain though... for five minutes you'll feel like you're in a hurricane and then it will stop as soon as it starts. Sleeping arrangements aren't too bad. It's similiar to a Falls Creek cabin without the airconditioning, matress, and warm water in the shower.
I met a lot of people today travelling. Andrew is from Tennessee and will be trekking across southeast Asia going to remote villages and sharing with the villagers, some who have never heard. He spent a summer with a Journeyman in the Andes Mountains who was part of Xtreme Teams. His stories are very interesting-- all around nice guy who loves the Lord. Justin and Clayton are friends from Mississippi. They will be working on a farm teaching agricultural skills while sharing their faith.
We've been given a scripture top memorize before breakfast tomorrow-- Ephesians 2:8-9. I just took a "wipey" bath and will take a shower tomorrow morning. I'm exhausted.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
