Well things going good still. Caught a bit of a flu last week and went to see the doctor. Got better care then I have ever got in Canada. Kind of scary huh? Starting to get a bit of a hold on the local lauguage, which is really important if you want to make a connection with some people here. While some are happy to speak english, others have no interest to do so.
Thought I would try and give a description of some of my responsibilities here. First I have kind of adopted the writing of profiles for child sponsorship. This involves taking pictures and interviewing the kids and family to write a brief profile with the help of some volunteers. As Patrick and Inneke will be away for 1 year I have agreed to help with the Leadership and administration of the whole operation while I am here (with their help of course). This will involve lots of things including helping to organize some team visits and get a new ministry going called Hope Holidays whose vision is to inspire people with a heart for missions. Basically it is one week of holidays and one week of intense missions work (well as intense as people can handle it!). I also feel really motivated to just hang out with the kids and youth and build relationships. A very important thing here in the philippines! And my heart is just to serve and do what I can.
Anyway, talk to you all real soon!
