Hello All!!
I am currently at my first ministry site and it feels so
good. Let me catch you up on what has been going on. For the first couple of
days we stayed at a ministry site here in the Philippines with our whole squad.
That was a time to get over jetlag and regroup before all splitting and going
to our individual group ministry sites.
Let me tell you a funny little story about 6 americans
trying to get around in the Philippines and not having a CLUE of what we are
doing. They have these things called jeepneys and trike. Why is it that people in other countries drive crazier
than others?!? Anyhow, we were riding in a trike all 6 of us, well should I say
riding? I should probably say we TRIED
to drive in one of them, but whenever we took off, we had on person on the roof
and as we took off in the trike and it began to tip, and next thing we know we
are doing a popa willey, and in the air! EVERYONE WAS OK, and NO ONE WAS hurt,
but it was the funniest thing! Leave it to the Americans to make a vehicle do
something its not supposed to do. J
SO now we are here at our ministry site. We are very excited
to work with this organization that has never before partnered with The
World Race! We are excited to pave the
way for future racers! Transitioning has been interesting. Getting over jetlag
has been tough for us, but we are all getting through it with joy.
Now, that we have left all of our comforts and submerjing
ourselves into the culture it is really starting to set in with us. But you
know what the awesome thing is? We are not alone. It is very nice to be around
people and be honest and tell them, that you are emotional, or something just
isn’t right and for them to accept that and stop what they are doing and
surround you with love and let you just cry. That is my new family of 5 others.
The six of us have a crazy 11months ahead of us. But knowing that we can be
honest and say UHM….no I cant do this or UHM…I really miss home and what the
HECK did I sign up for?!? It helps knowing we are in this together.
Continue to pray for us as we are working with a new
organization and getting to know there vision etc!
LOVE YOU ALL!! I
would love to hear from you! Feel free to email
me or facebook!
PS IF THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE it is because im listening to
a conversation AND typing AND still getting over jetlag! 😉
