Philippines January 2011 Week 1

Hi :)

I have wanted to blog much much sooner than this, but havn't have electricity for my computer! It's Saturday at 9:15 here.  We have had an awesome week! So far we have spoken in 149 schools! we have about one hundred left. maybe a little more.  Many people have come to know the Lord this week.  Everyday I just praise Him that He has allowed me to be a part of such an amazing thing! We are on the island of Cantanduanes.  Our hotel is in the city of Virac. You should google it :) It's very very beautiful here, but very very poor. To me, that's what makes it so so beautiful.  Not that it's poor, but that it's so untouched.  The mountains don't have huge houses sitting on the side of them.  The ocean doesn't have huge resorts beside them.  It's beautiful.  God's creation is so incredible.  It's warm here, and very rainy! Today we got to sleep late....6 o'clock! haha. We could have slept much later, but we have been getting up so much earlier than that our bodies wouldn't let us sleep any longer.  We played basketball today with the Filipinos.  Then, we shared the gospel with them.  The men went to the jail and shared.  Tonight, we had a film showing! It's been a very good day of rest! We are looking forward to worship service tomorrow.  I hope to fill you in a little bit better next week on what all is going on!

Much love!
