Well, we have arrived safe and sound to Palawan. We are in the city Puerto Princessa for a night and did some shopping today and will be headed to Brooke's Point and then up the mountain tomorrow. We are very excited and the people are SO friendly here. We stopped at a Seventh Day Adventist church tonight (a few blocks from our hotel) and had a Wednesday night service with them, then ate at this wonderful (and I mean wonderful) vegetarian restaurant. So good. All is well with just one glitch. I (Danelle) lost a credit card, debit card and a few other little things like a calling card.... :( VERY much a bummer, but not the end of the world. My mom was able to cancel them and we have Kevin's still. Just another trial to teach me how to be calm in stressful situations. :) I felt like I did really good (and Kevin will say so too;) but it helped that the other missionary Michelle was with us, and I don't know her well enough to have blown a gasket. :) So, I got to learn a nice calm way that staying calm really is better! Freaking out does NOTHING except make it worse. So, we did what we could do and hopefully I'll remember to be calm next time something stressful comes up. Pray for me there!!!
We are loving being here though. The feel is foreign, but even more than I'm used to compared to other countries. Hopefully we'll have some pictures to post soon of our first arrival days.
Much love to you all and thank you for your continued prayer. We'll be keeping in touch!
