#1. We left Baguio City and the beloveds behind on Saturday and said a silent goodbye to that brief home of ours and those friends that we made.
#2. Team Radiance has been given the honor of staying in Cabanatuan ( another part of the Philippines ) with our ministry contact, Marita, for the last week of our month here. I drove up to her house and saw a Home rather than just another place to stay. It has been so refreshing to be staying in a house, in a bed, in a HOME of a friend. I feel at home waking up each morning to Marita, our new friend, and sleeping in till the sun wakes us. It reminds me of my home.
#3. We arrived the first day greeted by Dalfo, a small,frail man that speaks to us in Tagolog and doesn’t seem to recognize the fact that we speak English. We also arrived to Nairda hastily making us a feast calling us angels. She treated us like royalty. We were told to leave our plates on the table and asked what we wanted for breakfast. So much food. We woke up the next morning to a feast again as Nairda was running around smiling and laughing speaking Tagolog and English.
#4. We did a prayer walk last night and I am still learning how powerful and beneficial it is.
#5. We went on an outreach today and I got to play with an entire neighborhood of kids. We played red rover. It was awesome.
#6. I am loving tricycle transportation and also find it a fun game to see how many people they fit onto a 2 seater transporter.
#7. watching Sarah, my teammate, talk to Dalfo. The two of them have conversations all the time but speaking in their own language. It usually starts off with Dalfo asking or making a statement in Tagolog and then Sarah responding in English with whatever she believes would go well with what he said. She is really trying to be sweet to him but it is definitely hilarious.
#8. I am, currently, watching The Office with Bek and watching Michael Scott act like prison Mike. I am laughing so hard.
#9. I am sweating real bad but only under my arms.
#10. Okay I am running out of things to talk about clearly ( #8 – #10 )
till next time……
