The rest of the team who remained at our hotel brought their clothes to the laundromat next door. When the Bible lesson began at the OM ALC, Marshall returned with Pastor Daniel to the hotel and church. It has been raining intermittently all day, but we were able to walk to church for lunch. Alex met us there and brought us some sansrival for dessert. What a treat. We also ate mangosteen and rambutan which we bought yesterday to make sure we have enough fruit and veggies in our diet. Since it was raining, the church van dropped us off at the hotel and took Ray, Josh, Samantha, Allison, Terry and Israel to CFA where they will help prepare the dinner and teach the children in the orphanage before going to the feeding site.
At 3:30, the ALC team returned after teaching for 5-6 hours (lunch was delivered to them), a little tired but enthusiastic. They all want to go back but others in the team also want a chance to go. Both Rachel and Meghan are not getting better but Tim continues to recover, and Crystal's reaction to her bites even with the medication is not noticeably improving. Many of the team members have joined Hannah in praying for the sick members and are using some of their free time (since only small groups are ministering from our team at anyone time) in worshipping. We ate dinner earlier because Katie, Crystal, Jayme and Allison left at 6:30 to a different site with OM to feed other homeless children. The CFA team today went to a distant location (about 45 minutes drive away) but returned by 7:30 to eat dinner and shared a little of their joy in serving these street smart children. The OM team returned at 9 PM after spending time assisting the OM volunteers.
Wednesday, July 16
Thank God, Rachel, Meghan and Tim are much better this morning but Bethany seems to have caught whatever is going around so she stayed back at the hotel. Crystal's bites are getting a little better too. Today was supposed to be our "big" outreach to the high school students at PCGS (Kian Kee, when Marshall went there for junior high), but the Cebu governor closed all the schools today due to Typhoon Glenda, which is hitting Manila and just giving us some rain, but we all are learning again that God's ways are not our ways and we must submit our plans to His. We spent about an hour worshipping and confessing as a whole group, and as I write this, we are praying in pairs. We are not sure if feeding the children this evening has also been cancelled, but we are enjoying our time with the Lord and with each other now.
