A constant thought in my mind since arriving in the Philippines is: Is it normal for someone to love their life so much?!  The moment I stepped out of the plane, here in Manila, I was overwhelmed with such excitement and peace!  I love the moments when I know I am right where God is.

We have been staying with K.I.M (Kids International Ministries) and have been so blessed by their hospitality.  The week has been a lot of refreshing, relaxing, and reenergizing.  We have had classes, lessons, worship, and training.  It has been nice to have this launch week really be about getting us all back, focused, unified, and once again passionate about this mission and about Him.

Sunday we will all be heading out to our specific ministry sites.  Our team will be flying out to the island Puerto Princesa.  We will be working with I.C.M. (International Care Ministries).  As long as internet will be available there, then many blogs, with lots of pictures and information, are on there way!
 
Until then here are some pictures from the streets of Manila.
