We had a leisurely start to Sunday, with breakfast at about 7:30. The scrambled eggs coffee and mangos are still delicious. In fact if any of you really enjoy mangos, we can send you a photo of us eating some...We visited a Christ Commission Fellowship church and heard a sermon on becoming like Christ. Sounds easy eh? Lunch was at a nice little restaurant. The chilli and tamarind soup was very tasty, and the iced tea served there is the best in the world. After lunch we drove down to a marketplace and did some serious shopping. 250 kg of rice, boxes of tuna, washing soap, coffee, hair shampoo, and noodles. Then it was back to the Ayala's place to pack the goodies into 200 shopping bags. We had a big production line going, and the pace was furious. I don't think Bryan has ever had to work so hard in all his life. We were rushing to get to the hilltop tralala before the rain arrived for the afternoon. (This is a poor community at the southern end of Malaybalay.) The rain arrived at the same moment that we did, so we decided to try again early tomorrow. The plan is to share a testimony with the people, and a short gospel message, and to bless them with a practical gift. Anyway, since the rain has set in for the day we are kicking back with some bananas (deep fried and coated in sugar) and Coke 66 cents for a 1L glass bottle. We're talking, laughing, and thinking of all you wonderful folks back in OZ. Dinner will be with the kids from the children's home, and with Jeremy and Sara Moody.

Good to see you are still enjoying the work you need to do there. How about bringing back the recipe for the fried bananas and we will have a banana and Coke fund raising night???
We are still praying for you daily and will certainly pray that the rain holds off so you can get to the village tomorrow to do your visit.
Thanks for the photos - I especially like those with the bear in:) They will go down well at Sunday School. Not much longer until you are back. Take care all of you.

Hello everyone,
Lovely to hear about your Sunday, we've had a great day here too. We invited the church up for a BBQ tea and had about 40 people around. They've all just left full and happy. It's good to get together with The Family! We sure missed you Rob - everyone's been asking how you're going and sending their love. God is great -He has looked after me in your absence more wonderfully than I could have asked or imagined. I can't wait to hear more about His provision and closeness in your time away. See you at the airport!
God bless your last days there and your travelling. Love to all from Jodie.

Hey!
Wishing everyone all the best! It's great hearing about what you are all up to and how hard you are working, and the photos are great too! It looks and sounds like you are getting lots done and none of you are dying of hunger!
Our prayers (Mum's, mine and Aunty Lesley's at least!) are all with you...
And mum says she would much rather a photo of herself eating those Mangoes!
Lots of Love, Renae!
Safe travels, we will definately pray for you tonight and in the morning. We look forward to meeting you early Wednesday morning. Do you want rice for dinner Rob?! Love you Rob, Mum and Dad, from Jodie.
