For some reason, although updating my blog was at the top of my to-do list, I'm writing this at 10-11 PM. Maybe I should invest in hiring someone to manage my time...haha! Actually, today was a good day of rest! Sundays are my day to completely block out any assignment work from my mind, so apart from having to work a shift every few Sundays (babies are born on Sunday too! :)), this is my day off! I usually start if off with a new traditional treat-pancakes or french-toast for breakfast! mmm! And then usually at 8:45 (Filipino time ;)) I head catch a Jeepney down the road that takes me a minute away from the church I've been attending- the one I've written about. The service "starts" at 9 and goes till 11:30-12. So far different girls have come with me, and two of them -Kinshasa and Beatrice-are considering making it their home church here as well. We'll see! It would be exciting to have them come as well! So, I believe this is the Church the Lord has called be to become apart of while I am here. I really haven't been to any others...every week I feel the urge to go back. Maybe in the future I'll visit some of the other churches in the city.
The rest of my Sunday afternoon is then usually spent catching up on e-mails and cards.
Oh, I have good news-great news actually! I passed my first assignment! Praise the Lord!!! I was very pleased & excited!! I just got it back this evening, so I'm still on cloud 10- I upped it one cloud! :) Gives me encouragement for this next assignment I'm working on! I also started charting at the clinic! One step up! :)
I can't forget the big news- actually I missed the whole event. I came home from being gone for a few hours and a bunch of people were on our street and I could see a lot of water on the road just going around the bend. It turns out there was a huge fire that burned down five houses just down our street!! The fire was completely out by the time I arrived. Apparently the girls here were some of the first to see and ran over to help the home owners throw their belongings that they were able to save from the fire onto the street! So five families are without a home!! And the little shacks they had to begin with were really not much of a home! Please pray that they will find help, and that we would know what to do to help them!
Well, I think I'll call it a day, and you can continue on with yours! :)
God bless!
