Kamustaka! Danyelle here with a blog post for Day 1! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is what we called \u201cjetlag day\u201d\u2014 we are 15 hours ahead! We arrived at base around 1:00 am and started bright and early at 7:30 am with breakfast and a tour of the facilities! Side note\u2026.we had to check ALL of our luggage due to weight (on top of the supplies, sports balls, and clothing donations) and by a miracle of God, ALL 18 pieces of luggage made it here with us! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, the tour was awesome! God has done some amazing things with the organization and it is so cool to see how the Lord has provided for them! They have a children\u2019s home, a home for crisis pregnancies, a clinic for pregnancies, a feeding ministry, a Christian school and a thriving youth ministry! The director was able to tell us the amazing testimony of this organization and it is truly guided by amazing faith in God\u2019s timing and provision. The director said a quote that accurate depicts all that God has done: \u201cThere is a thin line between faith and insanity; walk the line.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have the opportunity to participate in every ministry here, which so far has been wonderful to participate in. The first ministry we got to participate in was the feeding ministry. We got to go into a community and provide some soup to families in need.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was such a heartwarming experience as we got to hang out with all the kids in the community and make connection with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we got back, we had an amazing Filipino lunch and we laid out all of our donations.\u00a0

We were also able to swim in the swimming pool here! They have some super fun slides and diving points. We also made a little friend!

Then, we were heading off to our next assignment, which was to hang out with some of the kids at the children\u2019s home. Here, we played with the kids, made cute bracelets, and played volleyball!\u00a0

We came back home, ate dinner, and then had team time! It was difficult, but we mostly made our goal to stay up until 9:00 pm. 😎 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, it was a great day and we are so grateful to be here! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
