It is warm, warmer and hot! The sun is shining light, bright, brighter and brilliant. But, it is humid, moist, wet and we sweat! But, we love it! (not the sweat).
Our current “batch” of 63” is ready to “hatch” in another week. We have a gaping construction pit in our outdoor gym (Philippines Area parking lot—a big cement lot with two BB standards, a volley ball court, a badminton court, two ping-pong tables, a lot of jumping ropes). I tried to introduce 4-square for the missionaries but they didn’t catch on yet. I can’t get anybody (except a few sisters) to play it and they are so non-competitive and tentative that it’s no fun! Most of the elders love basketball! But, we only have enough room for a few. When the sun comes out, many of the sisters and a few elders head for the benches (our sick-bay). Getting a tan in the Philippines is most undesirable.
The gaping gym pit has big rebar spikes sticking upward so that any missionary who loses a volleyball has a high chance of being impaled! We have complained so the project ought to be completed perhaps in another two months. We’re working on alternative options for gym.
We are expecting about 90 new missionaries in one of our next batches in June. This number is over our present capacity. It should be fun housing, feeding, showering, and sweating!
We’ll keep you posted.
George & Debbie
