Hello All... Maayong Buntag- Good morning! Yes, we've started the language (Cebuano or Visayon) lessons, and it's proving to be quite the language with crazy rules, sounds and all of the above! I'm Looking forward to grasping it, and better yet- speaking it! :) One day...
So, below I've posted pictures of the crazy but fun time we enjoyed yesterday! The location is Outland Adventure here in Davao (kinda outside the city). A little side note: Davao city is the largest city in the world, geographically speaking!
The pictures speak for itself, but I'll give you a little of the history the park. Outland Aventure was designed and constructed by Matt, the director of Mercy Maturnity Clinic. He claims that the clinic is Kry's baby and the park is his! :) For a long time now he has had a vision to start a ropes course. The foundation of the park is an incrediable one! The land this park is on was amazingly donated by another Christian man. However as they began to clear the land, they realized that the trees were not big enough to hold the cables, and the only option was phone poles. To make a long story short, the head of the phone company here (a very intimidating man), had been on a ropes course in the States and when he found out about the plan, donated the phone pulls plus did all the work in constructing it!
The park has since been used for youth camps, leading many youth from off the streets to come to know the Lord. And as Matt would put it, "They don't just say the sinner's prayer, they make commitments!"
It was a joy to see (and feel :)) this ministry! And as you seen from the pictures, it was a test of how brave I could be! :-P Maybe if I tell my brothers that they can ride the biggest zipline in Asia they'll come visit me....!??! :)
Well that's all for today folks, especially since "today" is almost up! Yikes!
By the way, don't expect too many more of such posts... Starting Monday it's going to be hardcore work - don't worry Dad! ;-)
