Ang Ginoo maayo kaayo kanako!

God is so good to me! The Core, the CCD college group, has invited me to be a part of their Bible studies and as I attend there I have been able to get involved in some of their ministries as well. Back at the CCTC I finished my class with the first year students last week. We studied what the scripture says about the Holy Spirit with Pastor Eric, a CCTC alumnus. And on the farm I have learned a little about the needs of the animals here as the students teach me how to take care of the chickens and pigs. While the pigs may be unclean I have been assured that the chickens here are all born again because they grew up listening to Chuck Smith and praise music. It turns out that if the chicks aren't raised to be used to noise then they won't produce well later on in life because the noise around them will stress them out. The animals raised here all have a purpose chickens are for laying eggs which we sell and cook with and the pigs are for lechon. But the most useful thing about having all the animals around is all their droppings which is the main ingredient to our home made manure; which is also made up of bad fruit, and vyrmie. Vyrmie is leaf and biodegradable trash compost prepared by the hard work of hundreds of earthworms. Good soil and daily watering and sure enough some of the plants I have helped to plant are already growing but we will have to wait and see if they actually produce anything.
