Like A Rolling Stone...

Well keeping in true fashion to myself my plans have once again changed, let me give a quick recap here. So when I first was planning this trip out I made contact with an organization called Frontline I told them we would be coming to the Philippines and wondered if they needed any extra help they accepted. After roughly a month there we had really not done to much and I'm not complaining because the people there are awesome but an opportunity to help build a church came up and the same time a potential trip to China came on the scene. We declined the church building project to go to China but China fell through. So we were sitting there thinking about what to do we could of stayed with Frontline but we felt God had something else. The day after China fell through we ran into a fellow name Darrell who is the guy in charge of the church building project, he said he still needed help so we packed up and moved to Cainta. Which is where we have been for the last month helping to get a church building put up. The house we were living in we could only be there until the 26Th of March then we had to figure something else out. So we talked about going back to work with Frontline but it never played out. So then we were like lets go to Thailand and work with some people up there. The price we were told for the tickets was 3900 pesos (a little less the a hundred bucks). In reality because of the water festival going on in Thailand The price was actually $390 dollars we decided that it did not make sense but we still had no were to live. Through a random occurrence Byron's mother emailed a guy that lives here in the Philippines and so somehow we got in touch with him decided we would come see him down in Davao. So that is were we are know currently sleeping on a beach which pretty much rules.

Its funny during our time here we have had allot go on doors opening then closing other doors opening out of no where. It makes me think of something my Mom told me once, "just because it is a good thing does not mean it is a God thing." The doors we had closed on us were not bad things they were good things but they were not what God in store for us, I don't think it is happenstance that every time we have tried to leave the country it has fallen through God wants us here in the Philippines. In life opportunities arise and we are like OK lets do it because it seems like it is something that God would want us to do, when in reality he is pointing us somewhere else. Be sure that you are listening to the fathers voice even if it sounds good it may not be what he actually wants us to do. Get to know the Shepard's voice and you will never be led astray.

Much Love,

Cam
