It started out great.....

My day that is..... as you can see from the pic below it started out really great.... The band From Quest (that's the church we are going to here) went to Manila for a banquet honoring a 25 year veteran missionary to the Philippines..... There is a Krispy Kreme there... Man were they good... If my Uncle Glenn sees this I know a great place to build a new store... It make triple what Spartanburg does.... People in Manila wait 2 hours in line just to get them..... Some wealthy people even pay their helpers to stand in line for them.....

Anyway, after the devotions and doughnuts, Matt and I were off to the school, if you have read Matt's blog then you know it takes 2 jeepneys, a tricycle and about .5 mile walk to get to the school.... The pic below is the road leading down to where the school is.... We could take a taxi here, but it costs more, and we are trying to be as thrifty as we can about some things.... We are gonna make a video for you soon of the various stages of the ride from home to school...

Yesterday we were able to purchase fabrics for the bulletin boards and today we got to work right away getting things ready for the start of school.... If I was at home I would be doing the same thing right now, so it felt kinda like a normal day...... Check out this MASSIVE bulletin board in the hallway at the school.... There are a total of 9 boards we have to do.... We were able to get fabric and borders on all of them today... now what in the heck do I put on them???

Now for the crazy part of the day..... We left school at 3.... it should take about 30-40 minutes to get home with all of the travel we have to do..... Each Jeepney is numbered and goes on certain routes.... Our numbers should be 13C to 12L on the way to school, then 14D or 12L to 13C on the way.......home... stay with me here this is good........ Well today when we left....we walked up the hill, round the corner, down the hill, and caught the 14D..... we got to the Jeepney terminal and  saw the 13C.... we hoped on...... soon after we left the terminal I realized we were not going the way we knew...... OUR JEEPNEY WAS GOING THE WRONG WAY!!!! I told Matt if we stayed put it would eventually get to where we were going.... 45 minutes later we were right back at the terminal where we started....we breezed right by it and just 7 minutes later we were right in front of our neighborhood...... we didn't get home until 430.... and hour and half..... but hey... now we know the city....so I guess it wasn't too crazy after all..... O well that's life overseas.... You live...and You learn!!!! MAKE SURE YOU ARE GOING THE RIGHT DIRECTION!!!!!!!!!!  Oh... By the way... below is a pic of a Jeepney...
