Just a quick note to say thanks for your prayers for the first days of classes. My class is off and running and going well. I'm learning and adapting as we go, and I'm excited for how it's going and the potential for this class. Very thankful to be teaching!
Also, I'm surviving and thriving on the roads of Manila! Thanks for praying for my safety. I now can drive somewhere and usually get out of the car without the stress getting so high my shoulders are tight!
Filipinos have a lot of creativity and variety when it comes to names. There is the Roman Catholic influence - Mary's and John Paul's. But then there is the - we are a fun people influence. My two favorite: Aboy - as in the doctor holds up the baby and pronounces 'it's a boy.' What should we call him? Aboy. The secretary at my apartment complex is Sunshine - just call me Shine.
