MANILA

We're in Manila, the Philippines, for the remainder of our trip. Yesterday (well, it was yesterday for ME at least) -- I preached in a church here -- about 300 people. Lovely people and pastor. Very smiley. If you know Ed Calayag from our congregation, well, "There you go." Duplicate him 300 times and you get the idea. Loved that.

They took us to eat at a Chinese Restaurant next door to the church -- we let the Filipino pastor order FOR us -- he ordered, among other things, Lapu-Lapu. A few minutes later they brought out a really black, 18" long fish in a bucket with what looked like dirty water in it to me. The Filipino pastor nodded and 15 minutes later it was back out on a dish with a little olive stuck in its mouth for us to eat. :) And yeah, it was good.

The weather is very hot in Manila. Eighty five degrees all day easily -- and very humid. It rained yesterday for 90 minutes like the world was coming to an end - but then it stopped. The streets were real steamy the rest of the day.

I'll share more later.

And be blessed.
