Things I'm Learning...

As a Missionary in the Philippines I've learned many things:

-You cant be a germaphobe..
-Roommates are not just people...
-"Black outs" are called "brown outs" and are as frequent as meal times...
-Mealtime means game time-the game being, "How do I eat this?"
-The road is a multi-purpose place for driving, sleeping, playing, double parking, selling, drying food, walking your Carabao....
-Internet time is a precious gift...
-Need to send a text? No problem, just stick your arm out the window and hope you reach signal...
-Most food goes in the fridge or the ants will find it..except the food prepared for the day, it sets out all day... Talk about "bless the food"
-Locals carry umbrellas to keep them dry, to prevent getting tanning and to keep away the dangerous dogs...
-Nap time is for adults too..Siesta!

This is just a little bit of what I'm learning:) hope you get a better picture how I live now.. And can laugh along as you picture me in each situation!!

I think I'm going to try to post more stories regularly, as Internet permits.
