Saturday the 5th
It was amazing to see how many people in the Philippines were catching domestic flights at three and four in the morning. We arrived at our destination and after meeting our hosts, were quickly on our way to have a buffet breakfast. At seven thirty, we left the city to finally set out for Malaybalay. The drivers in the Philippines are very daring. Solid white lines are more of a guide than rule. This combined with the twisting uphill road and beautiful waterfalls left some of us worse for wear (you might want to talk to Aaron about this one when he gets back, but he now has a new nickname - Yak).
Most of us went to bed pretty much after we arrived at the Orphanage. We had lunch about one and then got into a bit of work in the afternoon. The working part of the trip has now begun. It feels like we have been going for a lot longer than a day and a half. Looking forward to church and a day of rest tomorrow.

It is great that you have all arrived safe and well, we have been praying for you all. I'm not suprised that Aaron has his new nickname, he has always been a bit soft. I'm sure this is the reason why he bought Alison with him this time.
Glad to hear everyone's safe, and mostly well. Thought car-sickness might have been a problem for Huntz(?), but sounds like poor Aaron suffered most. Hope everyone has had a rest and is ok now. Look after each other! We're looking forward to reading more - Gillian and the other McDowells
