Today was a great day. Paul and I went to Bocaue today and I preached at that service. I videoed part of a song while their worship team was playing. It was like being in youth ministry again. It was loud and fast! During this first service, Paul ordained the churches first deaconess. It was a cool experience!
After church we went to the mall to eat. (The mall is a topic for a blog later!) We had Wendy's for lunch. It was nice to eat some American food. We walked around for a while and then headed back to the church.
At the church, Paul and I split up. He went to Pulilan. It is a church they are starting across the street from a college. It was full of young people. Paul said it was great. 15 people gave their life to Christ.
I went to Daparo and preached at Pastor Efran's church. It was a building the size of most people's living rooms. They had 40+ people seated in there and 10 or so outside. Even though it was a small room, there was a small sound system...and it was loud! I preached again and Pastor Gary translated for me. It was the 3rd time he translated for me and we had fun with it.
It is very different preaching to people who have nothing. If I talked about something they didn't have (ie. a car) Gary would translate it into bicycle. I am learning that is for sure.
We are starting a VBS here at Grandma Grace's house tomorrow. We will spend the day with the Pastor's of the churches and then back here for VBS.
The bonus points go to my mom, sister, and Noah. They all knew that aso was dog. Yes, some people eat dog here! I will spend some time writing a longer post offline and post it later with some pictures!

It sounds like you are having a blast! Asia is certainly different in the food category than any other place on the globe. I will have to tell you a few stories from my travels upon your return. Hang in there and make sure you get rest. You don't want to get sick in a foreign country... I learned that the hard way last week.
