Day 3





After yesterday being so long and busy, a restful day was enjoyed by all. After breakfast we headed off to the CCF church in Malaybalay, where the message is given in English. The Pastor who spoke this morning was giving his first sermon! We met some Australians who are missionaries for New Tribes Mission who are working with the people here.


After lunch… a snooze (some longer than others) we were off to go exploring the town and to do some shopping. Whilst in town some of the boys went and got a close shave with a cut throat – which they can assure you was ok since the blade was cleaned in alcohol?! We all bought a range of lollies and chocolates, which did not last long once we got back.

From Malaybalay we headed to the children’s home…. Where the kids were excited and took charge of most people’s cameras. After playing with the kids and exploring how the house has changed in the last twelve months we headed back for dinner…. then headed back out for a game of basketball with the local Pastors and Christians. Will let you know later how the boys fared!

This morning Paul was thrown into the driver’s seat and I’m glad to report we survived Paul’s driving in the Philippines!
