What I do...

Well I just realized that my last post did not make it up! Therfore it has been 10 days, so I want to apologize for that. Anyway the last time I posted I mentioned that a typhoon was headed for us... well it did and hit us almost direct on! I slept through most of it and we just experienced strong winds and rain.

Sice then so much has happened in the last 10 days! I have to look back at my schedule just to figure it out! On Tuesday 6/24, we went and had a class at Santolan High School. Here we taught conversational english. This is a great oppurtunity that we have here. The school has asked that Lance be their NPO. The schools are being required to do this and this would allow for them to do just about anything they want in their school! The schools here are very minimal... they hardly ever have printout to give to students because it is too expensive. They are no computers or research materials.

The next day I had the oppurtunity to help out at the MANNA center. We fed about 85 kids.

The past couple of days have been so crazy! I got here on Wednesday morning at 4:30 and it took till 6:30 to get my bags! That day was kinda just a chill day and we went shopping. Things here are so cheap, I will never buy anything in the states again! It's all made here! You can buy gap, american eagle overruns for 3-4 dollars! Thursday I got up at 5am because of jet lag and then we went to Santolan High school and did an introductory english class. We went to the youth center that afternoon and had another one there. Friday we all got left at 5:30 (I got up at 4!) and went to Makati High school and had adrug provention assembley and then went to each class and presented the Gospel. There were about 500 that got saved! There were about 3000 that heard the message! We had 2 programs that day, one for the morning classes and the one for the evening class. We finished at 8 last night and then we to California Pizza Kitchen to eat! I ran into some friends from BBC there! HA HA... in Manila! Today a typhoon is headed our way, so it is raining alot! I will try and post pictures soon, the house has dial up so I am at the church now but left my jump drive at the house.

Road Trip(s)

The last few weeks since the last update have been very busy! Colston and I drove to Detroit, TX to watch Megan graduate on June 6th. We then watched our cousin Elliott graduate from Keller High on June 7th. That night after the graduation Colston and I got in the truck and drove 12 hours to Denver, Colorado to visit our old youth pastor Derald and his family. It was really great to see him and his family (plus the new addition Mackenzie!). We were able to see the work going on at his church (Belmar Baptist) which is doing well and just hung out and had a great time. We left Wednesday morning at 6AM and traveled to Las Vegas! On the way there we had a run in with a snow fall in Vail... who would have thought, snow in June? We got to Vegas and ate at the Harley Davidson grill and walked around the strip for about 3 hours! It was nice to say that we saw Vegas but not sure I will go back! HA HA! On Thursday we got up and drove in to Yorba Linda, California where we are at now. Colston is settling in to his office and getting situated and I'm here just visiting and helping out with whatever is needed! I will be flying out to Manila on Monday night. Please pray for the trip I found out that I leave at 10PM and arrive in Manila on Wednesday at 4AM which includes a layover on Guam!
