Sooo. It's update time. We have had a couple major changes since our last blog.
Biggest change we've had so far has been one of scenery so to speak. We have traded our homebase of jungle and relatively nicer people from San Pablo to that of a city skyline and a faster lifestyle. We were offered a chance to help a church, here in Manilla, build their church. And obviously(as put forward in a big obvious sentance at the start of this paragraph) we accepted. It is sad to leave our home in San Pablo, as the people there were amazing, but we all felt that it was time to move on.
Also our plan to go to China has fallen through. The pastors involved prayed about it and felt that it was important for Pastor Romeo (the guy we were going with) to go alone to get a feel for Gods plan for it. And we are cool with that. Our prayers go out with Romeo and hope God blesses him hugely while he is there So we are going to be going to Thailand for a couple weeks in April instead we think.
So right now we are just finishing our stint in a hotel waiting for where we are staying to have some beds for us. The area we are staying in here in Manilla can more or less be described as red light district. Hookers everywhere, offers for certain drug stimulants and beggars chasing you down. Sadly enough alot of the child beggars actually work for someone who sends them out to beg and bring back money. It actually is really taxing on my spirit being here at nights. During the days it's not bad. But as soon as it's dark it's just really frustrating walking anywhere. Alot of the girls in the area are trying to make money so they can move somewhere to make a better life for themselves. This area is really dark and it's shown by everyone who lives here.
We've been here for about 4 weeks. And we still have another 6 left. So It'll be really interesting to see what else God has for us here. Well dudes I should go pack as check out is in an hour.
We all love you guys, miss you and can't wait to hear from all of you. If your looking for something to do in between getting off the internet and doing whatever we have distracted you from it would be awesome if you guys wanted to pray for us. Here is some of the stuff that we're could use some back-up on.
-My (brandon) stupid cold. It's been about 4 weeks now
-Cut some red tape on our building project so some actual building can be done
-God's direction post the Phillipines
-People who got saved at the crusade to just continue to walk out their faith
-Our trip to Thailand
-The gangrene on Camerons brain would clear up (we got an ointment for it)
One of the above is not like the other, you get three guesses to figure out which one it is.
Anyway I gotta go for real this time. Love you all. Seriously
Brandon
