Dupax Day 6

Woke up in Renee's place I slept on the floor that night and never knew when it was morning cuase he leaves a light on and there was no light shining in. He cooked a wonderful breakfast I really enjoyed it! If I get the opportunity to come back to the Philippines I hope to be able to stay with Renee again.
    Me and Eric caught a jeepney down commonwealth and walked over to Marks house where we met the team and spent he morning praying and preparing for a big day. The last day with Mark, the Mcdowell family truly blessed us while we were staying in Manila. We enjoyed another wonderful lunch with them and then loaded up for a big Pbj day in Dupax. It was awesome to see O'Neal, woods and the other guys, they couldn't go the day before for PBJ because they were afraid they'd get shot because it was a rival community so there's alot of gang violence. We did the same thing as the day before except with different people. Had a wonderful time here. 
       We went out afterwards to youth night with the PBJ Youth. Mark AKA AWOL, a rapper was MC. Interesting environment. The break dancers from thursday  came out and O'Neal and his boys came out as well. Coolest part is knowing that these guys come from rival communities and would never step into each other's community yet they gathered together here in the Lords name together. Shared some great worship together, and A local pastor preached on calling. Afterwards they had open mic, opened up with music celebrity here in Manila. We actually heard her on the radio saturday(today) some of the guys from the worship band joined some other guys and played their music, a local Christian band. Ricky rapped with help from Ron who dropped a sick beat. Then Mark AWOL rapped with another guy to close up the night. Great end to a wonderful time with PBJ. Im gonna miss all of them!
