So much :o)

Right now I'm pretty tired so I don't know how much sense I will make but I wanted to blog about what we did this evening before time went on and I forget details. So at 4pm Chris, Tori, and Kevin went to visit some of the churches that our church sponsored and Kent, Grace, and I went with Jane and Jung to the mall via Jeepnee (I'll try to get pics of those later) and passed out tracks. It was interesting to walk from outside where poverty was obvious to inside where it looked nicer then Valley River Center... the people in the mall were mostly receptive but it sounded to me from Grace and Tori's experience last night passing tracks at the “Night Cafe” (street market) when you are out on the street they are almost taking them out of your hands before you offer them. After the mall we rode a motorella (I'll have to get a pic of one of those too... It's a motorcycle with a cage like thing over top that has bench seats for about 6 people) back to the hotel and then to the church to watch worship practice. It was really neat to be able to hang out more and experience travel by local transportation. At worship service we just planned to worship and pray but we ended up sharing a word of encouragement. It is amazing to me how they take every opportunity to encourage and uplift each other. Worship was amazing of course, there is nothing better then being in the presence of God. The benefits are countless! Then we rode the motorella home and decided to skip our plan to go to the “Night Cafe” again tonight to pass out tracks due to the fact that our bodies are still getting used to the time and it feels so much later to us. Tomorrow we will be going all day. And tomorrow night may be the end of blogging because Monday morning we will be moving to a different hotel and we are unsure about the availability of the Internet. We will do our best to continue to communicate but we are just going with the flow most days trying to fit in outside contact.

Wow, sounds incredible! Can't wait to hear about your Sunday (and Kent's 'special something' from Jung! haha!)

Isaac really misses you guys and says "dear Mom and Dad, thank you for giving the Philippines some toys and good job Dad; I want to you to sing with Kevin; happy birthday Kent, I like having birthdays a lot, I like celebrating birthdays; thank you Kevin for singing a song at church; I want to tell Tori thank you for her hair; thanks for Kristian and April to come, it's getting close to Sunday!" (when Momo and Popo come, he's super excited about that!)

This was what Isaac wanted to share with you... word for word!

I'm pretty much in tears right now! :o)
