We have arrived in the Philippines and are on our second day into our trip here. It was a grueling 40 hours of traveling from the time we left Roseburg to the time we arrived in Davao, Philippines. We were exhausted. Actually, that doesn't even do it justice. Our friend and missionary over here kept us busy all day on the day we arrived to help us make the time zone transition, there were moments in the day where you felt like you could fall asleep standing up. We went to the mall, he took us to the wet market, which is an outdoor market. In it are stands of all sorts of foods, including an area with raw, uncooked, meat. I took one step inside and turned right around, my pregnant nose wouldn't take it, I almost lost it. So, I waited outside with Matt Coil while the rest of them experienced the smell that has no words to describe it. Long travel, exhausted, but worth it! We are here, finally, and are expecting great things!
