Greetings my fellow bloggers. It's that time again. BLOG UPDATE! Lots of stuff has been going on over the last week +... sorry, there's not enough time for everything and I also didn't capture everything by picture. But here goes:
We had a night of prayer last Friday night. 6pm to 6am. I had to relinquish my rights in believing that 4 o'clock only comes once a day. Apparently it comes around twice. It was set up in a way that kept you awake (hard to believe, I know. Sometimes praying at 3 in the afternoon can make you a little sleepy!) It was set up in about 45 minute increments and you were always praying with others. During each time, we learned about individual nations and how to pray for them (ex.- 45 minutes for India, 45 minutes for North Africa, etc) with some worship and snacks here and there in between. I think I enjoyed India the most, for the last couple months India has been on my heart a lot. I find it interesting and exciting that there is such a large Punjabi population here. And one of my favorite things on the amazing trek was when we went to a Sikh temple (and not just because I got to take off my soaking wet socks and shoes and sit inside a warm building and eat semi-normal food). Um, yeah. But anyway- This is a shot of worship with Kevin Boese during the prayer night:

Last sunday, my team went to one of the local churches to hear Art Loewen speak about what is going on in the Philippines. He has been working with DMI for the last decade or so and has lead about 13 short term mission trips to The Philippines (actually, to the same city we will be in! Baugio City) So it was awesome to see a glimpse of what the city is like and to be able to pick Art's brain. He is back there now and will be coming back a few days after we get there, so we are hoping to be able to meet up with him while there!

| Work duties- Yep, that's right I personally stuffed your tax info! |

| WE'RE DONE... for the day... |

| Really?! |
The girls had a little date night on friday night. We went to the mall for a while, grabbed some snacks and a movie and came back to the Mark Centre to hang out and generally be girly. It was nice since I feel a little bit of our girly-ness is maybe a little squelched by SO MANY GUYS!!! But seriously... House of Knives? Would you ever see a store in the States that just has loads of butcher knives freely hanging on the wall?!?! Okay... maybe in Texas...
Well... that is all for tonight. I have a little reading to finish before discussion tomorrow morning!
Until next time...
