Busy kaayo (very busy)!! Looking back over the last month, I am amazed at what God has done. I have learned so much and grown so much closer to Jesus. I am so weak, but my Savior is so strong and He has been my strength and will always be.

We finished our first assignment and took our first exam on the 9th, but have not heard the results yet. Still learning Visayan with Ate Bee-Bee, and I feel like it is coming a little easier now. I finished my observes, and have started charting births. On Thursday night we had six births and I charted for three. I am so grateful for all the senior students and staff who are so patient and willing to teach, they are amazing. The pictures are of Miranda and I with baby Josh. God is so good. Amber taught me a new song last night:

There is an endless song, echoes in my heart, I hear the music ring,

And though the storms may come, I am holding on,

And to the Rock I cling.

How can I keep from singing Your praise?

How can I ever say enough? How amazing is Your love!

How can I keep from shouting Your name?

I know I am loved by the King, and it makes my heart want to sing.

I will lift my eyes in the darkest night, for I know my Savior lives,

I will walk with You, knowing You'll see me through,

Ang I'll sing the songs You give

I can sing in the troubled times,

I can sing when I win,

I can sing when I lose my step, and fall down again,

I can sing cause You pick me up,

I can sing cause You're there

I can sing cause You hear me Lord, when I call to You in prayer

And I know I will sing with the angels and the saints around Your throne
