Good Morning from Manila..
I cannot say the last 2 days have been more of the same, even though we may perform the same task each day, the connection as a team, to the staff of the home, the children,the daily men's bible study, and the Philippine people affected by the recent typhoons grows stonger everyday. God has truly blessed this group of minnesotans that you have sent. As we traveled back from the feeding site Thursday evening, the shared laughter and singing with our filipino friends, Oh what a joyful noise!
Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, the areas we served, still underwater. A few of us, with our boots, trudged thru the calf high water, to get to the children that could not get to us. We have all seen similar situations on tv, pictures do not do it justice, my words cannot describe it. I am deeply moved by what I see and what these Filipinos have to go thru, yet to see those beautiful faces smiling back at you, to see the gratitude in the mother's eyes, is in itself- undescribable!
Please continue to pray for our health and our willing hearts, to be totally surrendered to what God has in store these last few days.
On a lighter note, Kevin is driving us around, he thinks he is playing "pin ball"!
nellie and the team
