Day 2

hey everyone! We have had a very full day already and it isnt even 1pm yet! This morning we went to the city 'center' and walked around the plaza and prayed about whatever God put on our hearts. Timothy asked us to be mindful of the people we passed and to pray for the government here. The people here are truly beautiful and everyone likes to wave and smile at us.
We went to the church building to share our experiences and talk about what we prayed about and then we were served lunch. Some of the church members prepared us a typical philipino meal of "mungo' and rice and it was really yummy. It was a mixture of beans sort of like lentils, onions, leaves and small bits of pork. We had fresh mango's (the best i have ever had), and other fruit. This afternoon we are off to a botanical park to read the word and pray in preparation for the various 'cell groups" we will be a part of tonight. There we will share what God showed us in the word and also our testimonies.
last night, Jake and I went to a cell group out away from the main city....walked at least 2 miles to get to the area through the country side, through rice fields, past oxen, chickens, goats and many dogs. The children were precious and loved singing to the Lord, playing games, reading his word and having a snack. We gave them all some little tubes of toothpaste, some toys and some flipflops! One little boy was totally facsinated with his Dinosaur toy from mcDonalds!! (Thank you Vincent!)...love to all
