Hey everyone sorry I have not posted in like ten days. It has been crazy around here from running to the hospital and going to a navs bonding trip to Los Banos this weekend with the UPD students, It has been super busy. Unfortunately, my teammate Jacque was taken to the hospital on Friday July 6th. They thought she had dengue fever but she didn't. Thank the lord. But she is still sick and resting and not sure of her mono came back again. I am on my own at the UPD campus while Jacque stays at nav headquarters and rests and tutors one of the local edgers with English. It has been a hard last five days with having to depend on the Lord and look to him to be my strength. Trying to help control the situation with Jacque was hard for me because I couldn't and that's all I wanted to do, get answers. But the Lord wanted me to rely on Him to take care of her. He had bigger plans that I could not see.
Now that I am the only one on campus it is challenging with really making an effort to talk to people and really practice those small talk skills I know I have in me some where deep down inside. The common theme of my life right now is total dependence on the Lord always with my plans for my day to who I should talk to. After I experience these last two weeks on the campus I know that I will come back even more dependent on Him alone. He is an awesome God who is always with me and never leaves me.
Even though I am alone on campus during the day at night I am with Rachel and Karla staying at SEND now when they go to Samaratana during the days. So I have some american friends to debrief with at night. So glad God aloud that to work out so we could have each other and that we weren't all separated. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. Please pray for total dependence on the Lord along with strength for Jacque in this time of physical weakness that God can give her strength. I know God is working here in the Philippines with me and His people. I am loving the Philippines so much!!:)
