We started our travels on a Tuesday morning at 6:00am leaving Kona, Hawaii and ending on Friday at 5:30 pm in Cagayan de Oro (CDO), Philippines - can you say tired? It was pretty wild to see how well all the families with small children did with traveling that much, I think there was only one meltdown and he is 5 so I say bravo to all those kids! Nick and Sydney were amazing, they are great travelers, made to be missionaries!
We are staying in one room together with a bathroom and a shower, it is definitely do-able for us. The big bonus is that we have air conditioning, thank you Lord! It is very hot here with the average temperature of 95 but it feels more like 110 degrees with the humidity. The people are very friendly and the children are so cute! The YWAM "base" here in CDO is actually in someone's house which I have been told is quite normal, their hospitality is off the charts!!! They cook all our meals for us and will even do our laundry for a small fee, they are amazing. One of the things I have felt God telling me is to "out serve" our hosts, this will not be an easy task as they open their home to a bunch of strangers and feed us, but I am going to try my best. I am trying to be better at posting and keeping everyone up-to-date on our ministry here in the Philippines. Our internet is a bit spotty, so I will try to give word at least once a week.
God bless and keep us in your prayers!
