Arrived

Got more sleep than the usual none... no good movies anyway.
We touched down and the minute we stood up to exit, the lights went out on the plane. I couldn't resist, I said, "Well, we are in Manila, it's a brown out (Black out to americans)." We were only in the hotel for less than an hour and I killed my first cockroach. I went out for a bottle of water at 1AM and passed a naked drug addict passed out, laying on the sidewalk. Nothing I could do for her. I was thinking it was a little unsafe to be out, but glad to pray for her that God would catch her and set her free.
We had lunch with missionaries and gave them a new laptop the Lord put it on our hearts to buy for them. What an amazing God: we agreed with Him to buy it, we went to buy it and God provided for a way to buy it.
We had a prophecy when the church sent us out that we would reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Before we got our luggage, the guy next to us turned out to a friend of a mutual friend. With 500 people waiting for their bags, how cool is that?! We are just on our way to meet a person for dinner that we haven't seen for 16 years.
