one week

Mangandang Araw... its exactly 1 week and counting until we're on a plane heading to South East Asia. The excited, nervous, unprepared feeling is starting to really sink in. It's hard to believe 2 months has gone by just like that. We've finally reached the part of this whole thing which we looked forward to in the first place and the ironic thing is I don't feel like leaving! It's gonna be tough going from 11 fellow trekkers to 3...

Yesterday we got a chance to hang out at Steve K's place and wow... it is quite the house. Not even kidding, between the acre of hazelnut trees and a trail in the backyard leading down a ravine to the Fraser river it's hard not to admire. Anyways, after spending some time in the book of Mark, we started some trail maintenance, reinforcing the trails and laying down tires and mulch. I may have also nearly taken a tumble to my death, but thank goodness for a bouncy butt! Here are some pics, just cause i'm THAT impressed...

Welp here we go...

party time!

Partaayy..

Its been a week of celebration starting with Corina's birthday on Monday and then last night Sarah opened her home up to us for a little shindig!

It was good times all around with a great meal by Corina, and then some gaming. "What's yours like?" left us with some memorable quotes for the evening and telephone pictionary was a crowd pleaser as usual.

It was also good times seeing the girly for a sweet, if not brief, evening. Although I have to say that apparently I don't bode well around cats... or atleast cat leftovers. My nose was still runny when I got home.

Anyways, there's a lot to be thankful for this week including the sweet weather. We are all keeping Alex in prayer though as his health has gone from kinda bad to worse. We're hoping he'll recover soon...

Alrighty, until next time

"Don't your people eat cats??"

First Post!

So here it is! I've put it off until 2 weeks before leaving for assignment, but it now exists!

We're in week 6 of TREK training and man has it been a good one. We've been talking about Evangelism, but really its been all about "Disciples making Disciples." The first step is to BE a disciple... Stay close to the vine and only then can you bear good fruit.

There's really too much to say about what I'm learning, but what I can say is that it has been good. We had a chance to attend a prayer meeting eaarrly this morning with a seniors fellowship at Central Heights. I love old people... or "older adults" to be PC. It gives me encouragement to know that there will be an army of people praying hard for you... and not just saying they'll pray for you to be nice but like ACTUALLY praying for you. Plus the A&W breakfast they bought us was sweet. =)

Anyways, there will be more updates to come... most likely after I actually leave the country... but UNTIL then, some things you may want to know!

The Commissioning service will be:
Thursday, March 3rd @ 7:00PM
Columbia Bible College Chapel
(Abbotsford, BC)

There's a good chance we'll be flying out that same night and so please come out if you can! Enjoy the following video and see the beautiful faces of my teammates!

Until next time...Blessings,

Mo

Meet Team Phillipines. We're ridiculously good-looking.
