Arrival

Hey guys! We're here in Cebu safe! We traveled all night and finally landed in Cebu at 11:30 this morning. Or, for most of you, around 9:30 last night. The time change is a little bit trippy. It feels like I'm talking to the past when I talk to my mom who is technically living my yesterday. Though, the upwards of 36 hours traveling and lack of sleep could definitely be contributing to this "trippy" feeling.
Thus far it has been very fun! Hilary and David picked us up at the airport and brought us back to their lovely house. I love the ocean the most I think. I could definitely get used to seeing the water every day. And I think we're actually going to the beach on Saturday! It's insanely hot up here so the water will be very nice. It's been about 94 degrees today... definitely a spike from what we were feeling at home. And...there was a brown out when we arrived so the air conditioners weren't working. Needless to say, I've already sweated through my first outfit. haha.
Hilary took us to the clinic today and we got to meet a beautiful little boy who was born last night. We also got to participate in the Bible study that, starting next week, we'll be leading. I picked my schedule for this week and I'm on graveyard shift for a few of the nights. I'm pretty excited for it- this, they tell me, is when the most babies are born. I'm so ready to see a baby enter this world. I spent the better part of the last flight reading the book "Baby Catchers" and envying all her stories about delivering babies. So I'm definitely ready to be part of this miracle! :D
Please keep up the prayers, my friends! Jesus is going to move so big this summer and I'm so ready for it. So be my prayer warriors! Please be praying for safety and sensitivity to the voice of our Lord. I just want to be able to minister to these women in any way I can. I love you all so so much and I'll keep you posted! We're uploading some of our "travel pics" right now so there will be a file created on facebook. Love you guys!
