Happy Easter Everyone!!
We miss you all and would love to spend this very important celebration with each and everyone of you!
This week we have been very busy with all of the Holy Days! As you can imagine in a country where 90% of the population is Catholic, Easter week is quite the event. There is no way you can get anywhere without sitting for hours in traffic, and on Good Friday there were processions everywhere you could look, everywhere. Tagaytay was packed because of the summer vacation, Easter week, and it is one of the coolest temps you can get in area, especially compared to the furnace that is Manila.
There was also a retreat for the youth here, and Michael and I were asked to share our "experience", meaning how we met, what role God plays in our relationship, and why we came to the Philippines. It was a moment of reflection for us as well, you can imagine I'm sure, and also working together because sometimes we had different ideas! But it came off well, and the youth loved it, and we felt a new commitment to why we came.
This week begins the sports camp, and tomorrow there will be swimming at a hot spring nearby! Exciting and a new experience for me, and curious to how this will be with the weather so hot. Can't wait to tell you about it!
Much love to all.
