I'm here!

I'm in Manila!  I left Monday morning and arrived last night at around midnight (Manila time).  Although I traveled for about 24 hours, it was very smooth and pleasant.  I would say that I actually enjoyed it.  It allowed me time to relax (especially on my 15 hour flight to Tokyo) and think.  I met several people on my flights, and they were very nice to me.  I have a little church and bathroom that is in the church building.  It is a very cute set-up, and I'm especially grateful to have internet access in the church building.  I slept in very late today-I almost slept through lunch!  I've unpacked a little, but I need to organize all my belongings.  I've met many people so far and have had a quick orientation.  Tonight, I plan on going to the prayer meeting, which is from 7 to 9:30.  So that's all for now.  I'm sure I'll have a lot more to say later this week.  I may even be traveling to northern Philippines to the mountains!  We'll have to see!  Stay tuned.
