I made it!! I arrived safe and sound at 7:30 Sunday morning. After getting my bag, I met Karin (my gracious and very British host) and she took me back to her place to freshen up. After a bit of unpacking and a shower, she took me across the city to see the Witts (a very lovely and close family from church). It was really nice to see them here in Manila. They helped me adjust and gave me a few tips for my time here. We stayed together for the rest of the day. Then Karin took m back to her place and I basically passed out. After a slightly restless night, I spent Monday morning with two really sweet and kind British girls named Meagan and Lizzy who were finishing up a 2 month stay with IT Tender. Then we went to the IT Tender office where I met most of the team and was officially welcomed. After the meeting we went back to the appartment for a bit of a rest before we had a going away party for Meagan and Lizzy. At the party I met the rest of the team and enjoyed fun games. Today I have already had an orientation and helped kids from the sponsorship program make Christmas that will be sold in Canada to raise funds and awareness for the IT Tender team. In just a bit I will be going to help at the feeding program for 50 malnurished children. I'm already feeling like a part of the team and really feeling like there may nea future for me here. Keep praying for the IT Tebder team and ministries as they all put their hearts and souls into the lives of these children and familes.
