Next Destination - Australia

Yay!!! I'm almost done my time in the Philippines which means my next place is.. dun dun dun AUSTRALIA. I can't wait. Apparently and it's going to be super chill and hanging out with high school students all week.. I'm stoked man. Anyways, I will catch you quickly.
Destination 1 - May 1st.. ish : Baguio >> amazing. We drove through the mountains of North Luzon - gorgeous omg.. incredible steep drops off the side of the road as well - not as comforting but that's cool. Streets of course are crrrrazy curvy but it's so much fun to drive there.. walking is unfortunate because of the ridiculous inclines - leg work out thats for sure. But it was great, we got to pray with city officials, evangelize in the park, kids programs in the park, marginalized women ministries 3 nights we were there, lots of team bonding. Baguio was amazing - I loved it. The topper was that we stayed in a house just our team it was awesome. oh y a, and we wore sweaters at night because it was .. get this.. COLD - well Philippines cold.. not Canada cold by any means.
Destination 2 - May 6th ish : Bontoc >> village with nothing. We did a lot of ministry for the base, blessing them. Running YWAM international prayer day on the first Thursday for them, hanging out with the American family - I guess its had when you never are around english speakers lol - evangelism of course. Bontoc is really pretty as well, surrounded by bigger mountains all around it it's stunning. There are rice terraces everywhere its beautiful. Then in our stay in Bontoc we went to another more villagey village called Can-eo. It has even more nothing. They survive off of their rices frields and weaving - which is incredible might I add. We only ended up staying 1 night becaues of the typhoon - causes land slides over the road which we ended up seeing.. would not have been a good time driving and getting hit by one of those - I'm just saying. Anyways so that was cool there we did a lot of praying for the village to break curses and ran a bible study for 2 families. It was cool - glad we got to do that.
Destination 3 - May.. i dunno what : Dagupan >> AMAZING time there we stayed on a base. it was so nice I loved it there this was back down on sea level right by the beach we were like a 2 minute walk from the waters edge. craziness man. anyways the base staff and directors were wonderful. We did open airs at a slum and then at a disabled peoples place that was really neat and muslim friendship ministry and stuff - it was great. they were amazing to us holy goodness. Food there was incredible they had different fun nights and we played games with them and they had a farwell for us and they danced and told testimonies and we did our skits and it was so much fun. We all laughed a lot. it was amazing.
Destination 4 - May 16 : Manila >> Im here now .. should actually be getting ready for the day. I have 10 minutes to get ready.. shoot. Anywways, so yesterday was our much needed day off so we took a trip to the SM mall of Asia - biggest mall in Asia apparently. INFACT - David Cook & Archiletta from American Idol were there on Saturday night lol.. true story. Anyways so ya that was really cool we had fun - they had a Bo's Coffee which made my day. Hadnt had a cookies and creme freeze in forever.. like 4 weeks lol anyways. so we start ministry today and then Wednesday we head our for Australia.
We'll be spending Wednesday night in the Brunei hotel again :) yay banana pancake! and then arriving in Perth Thursday night, then we have all Friday to get ready and then saturday morning we head off to Geralton or whatever its called and then after that we hit up 2 more cites farther north.. so it'llbe chillier but it'll be awesome. I'm so stoked. this is what I've been waiting like 2 months for.. youth ministry what!!!
Anyways I'm so going to be late, thanks for everything guys!
Peace
