We just moved into the Philippines on Wednesday after a 40 hour travel day. From Tegucigalpa to Manila and on the way I got to see my family and it was nice. They gave love, encouragement… and about 15 pounds of cookies. Manila from Honduras is a 14 hour time difference so the first day and a half we hung out and rested till our thanksgiving feast, featuring chicken, corn and mash! But we're still pretty jetlagged. Tired at 6 or 7pm and waking up at 4 or 5 am for most everyone. 

We're an hour outside the city of Manila at an organization called kids international ministries. I don't know what are team is doing yet, but there are a lot of options. 

At debrief in Honduras we had some teams change, and Chris Burns from my team has moved to a different team. Also one of our three squad leaders Ken Baxley will no longer be continuing the trip with us. But all the guys on the trip live in the same apartment room so I will see him a lot still. Having all the dudes together will be cool so we can grow closer together and encourage each other to grow. 

Random thought of the week: Manila us the 7th largest city with about 20 million people.
