I MADE IT!!!! Right now I am in the city of Naga in the Philippines at an internet cafe.  This has been an incredible week here so far and God is making himself visable.  We have been laying cement & getting ready for a week long kids camp next week.  We have also done a wide variety of events outside of where we are staying, from street evengelizing to prostitutes to visiting the elderly in nursing homes.  Eveyone here is so loving & inviting!  We are working with a youth group organization called the Upright Generation & they help us with translating & communicating with different contacts.  Today is our day off so we are traveling around & sight seeing.  God has been so cool & sparking my intersts as far as playing basketball with the kids here & giving me opportunities to be bold.  The food has really been awesome even though it involves some sort of rice just about every meal.  Our team is really starting to bond & that makes everything else so much easier.  You can sense our unity & God is answering many other prayers.  Please continue to pray for our camp for next week & those we evangelise to this weekend.  It can be very difficult with the language barrior, so just pray for boldness & understanding.  Also could you pray for rest & energy as the kids camp with go from 6am - 10pm everyday!!  We have also experienced some health issues on the team so just pray that everyone's digestive systems get with the program & we can funtion properly :)  Thanks again for all your support & prayers & I will try & post again when I get a chance!! Love from the Philippines!
