Christmas day at the Mall of Asia & Visiting some Pastors the day after
CHRISTMAS DAY HAPPENINGS
On Christmas day, we decided to make our way to the Mall of Asia, a giant shopping mall that is also home to the IMAX theatre where we watched Avatar in 3D (IMAX movie tickets here are less than half the price of cost in Hawaii!), good flick, I would recommend it. Unfortunately, it seemed like entire nation gathered in this one mall on this day with the sole purpose of getting in my way and to watch the same movie as us, so we had to wait about 6 hours until the next open show. Also unfortunate was that Lynnette had gotten a stomach infection and had to deal with vomiting, diarrhea and a sore stomach the entire day. But because I was so excited to watch Avatar, I encouraged her that watching a giant IMAX screen from the 4th row with 3D glasses would make her feel less nauseous...I was wrong.
The next day Lynnette stayed home to rest her body and to try to recover. While her and Jay (also not feeling to well) stayed at home to rest, Nolan, David, Kryz, Joe and myself were picked up by Pastor Ray, who is the the Foursquare District Supervisor. We had a chance to meet a couple smaller churches to hear their hearts and to continue to find out what the spiritual needs are in this city. God continued to confirm the need to minister to the young professionals in Manila. We also drove through the Makati business district (upper scale neighborhood), which is the only area that Foursquare does not have a church, AND on top of that it where a lot of young professionals live and work, AND it was one of the initial places that Nolan had a vision for. We'll see how God continues to direct us. PRAYERS
Please pray for our health, especially for Lynnette, Jay and Nolan who either are sick or are starting to feel sick.
