... to pay attention. Wow did I ever pay attention. I really was not sure what to expect but it was really strange. First of all we show up and it began an hour after it was supposed to. There were 10 cases that were supposed to be heard by the judge in the morning. Everyone was there. There was no separate court room for anyone. The court room was small and there were files from previous cases all over. They were piled high on ...

... a little further along to an actual strip club. Now I'm not a prude but I have never experienced a strip club before. I had so many mixed emotions as I was sitting there that I could not express how I felt. There were less Americans however there were more then enough men to go around. After that we ended the night at a bar in Subic bay military base. This was probably the best place. It was on the beach and there were actual families eating and having a ...

... out at the sides of the road enjoying the nice and sweaty heat of 35.

Darren drove us to a local race track where we watched some done u 2litre cars take part in race. We then had a look through the pits and found lots of men working on classic cars of which Darren showed us two he bought recently (as you do?!?!).

Tonight we are off to some local friends house where we will be having a meal cooked by a man ...

HI everyone, today we went to Arnold's house for lunch. He is one of James's work colleagues and a dear christian. James and he had a lot of fellowship during recess for a couple of days. James told me that Arnold had strong desire to pursue the Lord. James told him about Watchman Nee and gave LSM website address to him.

We met his wife, Rachel and two sons. their names are Nicorshi and ...

... to be a part of.
As well as getting used to the transportation and market, we were able to get used to working with kids. We did tutoring after school in our local barangay. As well as activities at the orphanage. We even had a huge kids camp which was a lot of fun. We also had to train the staff at the orphanage in order to try out staff training. This was a little more anxiety provoking. However, we did it and made it through. We also did a ...

... in Anawangin for 200php!) and some other fish, grilled eggplants, salted eggs, bagoong and rice - of course, we're Filipinos! For dessert, we feasted on fresh watermelon. Yum! It was a great day that we all - as a group - boarded on one banka that brought us to Pundaquit Bay. The ride this time was sober, maybe because we all know that our trip is now really coming to an end. We bathed "koboy" (cowboy) style using pumps in full view of the village ...

... we reached Silanguin - but knowing that I will spend the night in this place... How could I ever handle this? The beach was wonderful. It's not powdery white and fine - but I don't care. That's not what I'm looking for. I want tranquility and pure nature. I do not want Boracay. I want raw and real surroundings. And this is it. After I helped setting up camp, I offered to help with the cooking. But, L insisted that I swim ...

... the island which we used as our dressing area, sleeping area, and shade from the sun. From Camara Island, we went to Capones Island to check out the lighthouse. We trekked our way up to the lighthouse, and it was so much worth it! After our short visit to the lighthouse, we went to Anawangin cove, our campsite. All the while we thought that Anawangin is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. But we ...

... seats for our flights. Being so early we got window seats for the flights. We went through security and headed out for the gate to wait the last couple of hours before boarding the plane. I spent the last of my Thai money on a couple of ice cream cones at the KFC. About an hour before we were to board the plane they announced that we would be delayed an hour. I check the departure screens and all the planes to Hong Kong were also delayed. Along about 10am they announced that ...

... while travelling. On Sunday, we went to church in San Fernando and did a presentation in the morning service, and then went to a groundbreaking service. In the afternoon we went swimming with the youth group at a resort. After that Dave and I went to Manila to narrate the SEND International Recruitment Video. So that is my week at a glance. I will continue updating you guys as the weeks go on. Thanks for praying for us and supporting us. God Bless!!! Trent
