So we're coming to the end of week two of ministry! God has continued to be good to our team in providing us with a safe and dry place to stay throughout our time in the mountains. On Monday of this past week we moved to a village called VillaFlorida to continue telling Bible stories as a way of sharing the gospel. This town has not been as receptive as the last, but we have been able to meet with a few people and share Bible stories. A typhoon hit on Thursday, so that cut out some of our ministry time. I'm learning to take joy in the Lord and do ministry because I love the Lord, even if I don't see many results. We've been doing a lot of praying over this village and I pray that God continues to work in the lives of these people. On Tuesday we leave for our third village, Mayong (which is by the beach!), where we will be for two weeks. Please pray for the Lord to work in Mayong and show us what He wants us to be doing.
Oh- and random Filipino fact: raising your eyebrows here can mean "yes" or "hey" so literally you can walk down the street here, pass someone, and raise your eyebrows and you just said hey to them. I love it.
Please continue to pray for strength for our team (especially our translators) and discernment to do the Lord's will while we are here. God is good- may all the ends of the earth see His salvation!
Oh- and a quick explanation of the title of this post: during the typhoon we cooked pancakes in a wonderful Filipina's hut/kitchen. So i guess i can add that to the list of neat things I've gotten to do this summer haha.
