Entry 2 Philippines

05/04/2015

Arrived in Mindoro.

We woke up at 4:30 am and we got there at about 7:00 am.
I really like Mindoro.
It's like such a cute retro town area.
Quad trikes everywhere, I love the fences and colours of the buildings. It just reminds me of my favourite movie Nacho Libre.
I love it!
The flight was cool, saw lots of mountains and rivers.
We went to Magsaysay where there was a small church 30 minutes from our hotel.
It was such a tiny cute church.
Kim preached and we sang some worship songs in acapella.
And something I found different  was praying individually and silently on your own.
Made some cool new friends and I taught them a couple of games. It's such a good ice breaker especially for the shy ones.
You have to make the effort but it's worth it to see the people laugh and smile. It's super hot but it's bearable. The small faith baptist mission church showed me that we can worship and love the Lord no matter where we are.

They just seemed so happy with such basic things.

I love that!

We have officially arrived in Manila after 26 hours of being awake!

It's 5:00am in NZ and it was quite funny how we were in the day/afternoon time for sooo long. 
We were on Friday afternoon for ages. I saw the most beautiful clouds and the most beautiful city night view. It just showed that this is the city that we're here for.
The team mates are super fun and I pray oh Lord that we can truly get along well with each other. 
I give what tomorrow hold to you. 
God you have taught me so much Lord and I pray that my brain can contain and remember it all. 

Speak to us.
