Today was awesome! We started the morning off "hiking" up this really steep hill to find a jeepney to take to the university. It was definitely a bonding experience as we all sweated and tried to catch our breathe at the top. Some of us taught a music class at one of the universities today. We got to sing some songs with them and share our music with them. One of the coolest things about it was that we got to do some worship in the classroom with them. Then, we left the university and went to the Encounter Campus Office to spend some time before lunch just praising God and praying. It was wonderful. We went to an authentic Filipino restaurant and I had fish for the first time in my life. They also all convinced me that I had just eaten dog...I hadn't. We went back to the school for another music class. Kyle, Tiffany, and I got a neat opportunity to be the "judges" of some Filipinos that were trying out for the glee club. We got to hear there glee club sing and it was so beautiful. We all went back and joined the rest of the group afterward for some games, worship, and a message by Dan. Now we are all laying around the house relaxing and journal while the girls get to shower :) God has revealed Himself in so many awesome ways this trip so far. From the way that this team has really come together to the interactions that we have had so far with all of the people here. Everyone is so very welcoming and excited to see us and hear what we have to say. I love being here! Being this tired never felt so good! Well, it's almost my turn to shower! Showers are such a blessing! Thanks for the prayers, they have been HUGE for us! We get to teach in the university tomorrow again and tour one of the bible colleges. God is good!

Loving the updates. Keep 'em coming. The bridges you guys are building in the university will be helping those ministries in major ways. Keep it up! We're praying.
