It’s mid October and by now the leaves on the trees back home are decorated in bright autumn colors. I’m waiting for that to happen here, but for some reason I don’t think the palm trees are going to turn orange! I check the weather network online and watch the temperature at home slowly drop while the climate of Davao City keeps a consistently hot temperature. It doesn’t change much throughout the year, usually hanging around 34 degrees. I miss my favorite season, but I’ll value it all the more when I get to experience it again! Until then I will appreciate what the closeness of the equator has to offer! For instance now, as I’m sitting here outside writing this, the neighbor is attempting to pick a coconut from his tree with a long net…oh he got it!:)
Talking about the fall- Happy belated Thanksgiving!! It was almost easy to forget as the American students and staff don’t celebrate it until November, and the Filipinos don’t celebrate it at all. It’s pretty sad to already hear Christmas music in the mall! Some of the girls bought a little chicken, sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce, so we had a little Thanksgiving dinner Sunday night!! We have so much to be thankful for! Being a child of God’s, I have everything! I am so rich in Christ!! Just seeing where and how the Lord has brought me to today, and being here in this whole life-changing experience- it’s amazing!
Okay, I have a small confession to make…It’s actually kind of embarrassing! I didn’t even know about the Canadian elections! Ahh…can’t believe I’m admitting this on my blog! I guess it’s part of being in a different world- although William reminded me how easy it is- “Sarah, www.globalnews.com!” Oh dear! But I did hear about the Stock market crash, so I’m not totally out of the loop…:)
Oh, I hope this post wasn’t too boring! I didn’t put a whole lot of news. If you wanted it to be thrilling I could detail a birth story! haha No…I better not!
Okay, time to sign off! I’ll keep you better posted when I’m more in the mood for writing! Next on the agenda here is an intense two-week Anatomy & Physiology course. I’m looking forward to it!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
SMH
P.s I’m hoping to post pictures ASAP! :)

Sarah;
Ik ga nog eens proberen om je hier een antwoord te geven;het heeft voor en nadelen dat er daar geen seizoenen zijn maar je mist inderdaad een mooie herfst!Daartegenover staat natuurlijk de zon en de warmte die daar altijd aanwezig is;en ik geloof ook niet dat de palmbomen orange-rood of geel zullen kleuren,maar zal ik je er foto's van zenden?(grapje)je weet best wat je mist maar ook dat je veel ervoor in de plaats krijgt;de liefde en dankbaarheid van zovele mensen die het materieel niet zo goed hebben dan de meeste van ons he?Hopelijk hebben vele wel het geloof in onze Here en Jezus in hun hart!
Liefs van LISETTE
OH my - but I am sure you remembered the american election - everyone in Canada is more interested in that anyway! take care. Love Harriett
