Wow, so was it ever a long trip getting here. We don't actually live in Cebu City, we're in Talisay - Carman Village to be more excact -45 min away from Cebu I believe.
It's been really cool though. We've had like 3 salvations already and a lot of really cool conversation with people. We've been doing a lot of evangelism and street work so it's hot and we smell and we're sticky with humidity but God is so worth it.
I've love being here and God is definitely giving me a heart for the youth here especially. The people are so great. God really showed me yesterday how much it hurts Him when we don't think we're good enough. I met this amazing girl, 13, the other day at the beach who almost cried when I asked her to say "I am beautiful" before I left. It broke my heart to see how desperate she was to look American. She impacted me so much.. I was talked to Deborah and we decided to go back hopefully tonight with a camera.. take some pictures of her and then go to SM mall and print them off and write notes on the back and give them to her to hang onto so she can see how beautiful she is. Unless you see this girl you dont understand how stunning she is. I cant believe how blessed she is.. perfect face. Anyways.. thats one story ..
We've been spending a lot of time as a team together and a bit of time mingling with others from our school. really though God's amazing. It stinks that I dont have internet more often. But to tell you think the truth I dont miss it. haha, ya I wish I could communicate with home more easiely but God put me in this place for the people not to act like I'm at home.. so keeping that in mind it helps me focus on what I'm doing now and on the people that need Him.
Thanks again for everything - Again, I couldn't do it without you guys.
