Discombobulated

Hello again! I am writing on a mattress in the Philippines. And you know what this means...

*drum roll*...... pttptptptptpt.....

We have arrived! On June 17 @ 1 AM (June 16, 1PM EST), our team of 11 arrived at the filipino navigator headquarters. And we were/are pooped. It has been ten hours since we woke up this morning, though jet lag seems to be pretty intense. shhh. This room that I'm typing in is full of sleeping men. In a few minutes I'll have to do a wake up call.

Our schedule for the week is orientation until friday, in which our team will be split three ways and go separate ways. One group will stay at the headquarters to serve local high school/college ministries, while the other two groups will go to the slums of greater manila (antipolo and los banos). The three UMass-ites will be part of these two groups.

Meanwhile, it is pretty exciting to know that there is wireless internet (thus mattress typing) and I will probably send a lot of updates in these couple of days and then who knows after that. Thanks again for your continual prayers!
