I am home.

I am now officially in Cebu City settled into my new home with my mentor Rhonda and friend Ginny who will be here working with us in Cebu until the end of August. I embarked on this journey last tuesday, July 15th and had no troubles at all in travelling. Smooth sailing, just very tiring! For the last week we have been spending some relaxing time in Manila with missionary friends of Rhonda's there and also took a trip north to the city of Boguio! It's been a great time getting to know one another and speninding lots of time in prayer and preperation. In Boguio we saw the beautiful mountians and experienced some real live Filipino market shopping! I have been meeting some really awesome Filipino's with hearts for the Lord and for His ministry. The people are making my transition much easier and they have shown much grace to me as I learn the do's and dont's of life in the Philippines.
I have been quite busy traveling so haven't had much time yet to sit and write about all that has been going on. Today I will be sharing my testimony with an all girls class Rhonda teaches and we are beginning to prepare for a missions trip with her class to Bohol ( the island east of Cebu).
I have the oppurtunity to be involved in so many things, I really can't wait!
Next week I will be taking a missions class in the evenings at the Asian Centre for Missions alongside my mentor and other Filipino classmates. As well helping out with lots of children's ministries!
I ask that you will be praying for me as I get used to the heat here in the Philippines. It quickly zaps my energy, so please pray I will be refreshed to work! Also pray for continued safety and good health for Ginny, myself and Rhonda.
And praise the Lord that we all arrived safe and sound here in Cebu with a beautiful home waiting for us and a solid friendship between us three girls :)
Thank you for your prayers and encouragements,I miss you all and will keep you updated on the new happenings in my life here in Cebu City!
ayo ayo! (take care in Cebuano)

I'm on my way!

I received my plane ticket today. It is now real, here in my hands. This is really happening!
God is so faithful even in the smallest details. Things are starting to fall into place and I look forward to these next few months here in Canada as I spend time with my family and prepare to go. I write my last exam tomorrow afternoon and than I will be all done school..for now.
I move back with the family on the 24th and begin my hunt for a job.
Please pray; for He is good and He has plans for me that I can't even ask or imagine!
