my first missions trip!

WOW WOW WOW! I really don't know where to begin! God is so good. When you step out, He's going to show up. I got to experience that first-hand while we were out in the Philippines! It was a totally new experience for me! Not only that crazy God things were happening, but even the culture, temperature, and food were new to me as well! Alright, so I think I just really want to share some testimonies of what happened while we were out there! As you may know, we went down to Manila and General Santos to do mini supernatural school's. First we went to General Santos, and none of us really knew what to expect when we went and conference started. After the service on Sunday the Bishop who came to meet us there, Chito Sanchez, asked if anyone in the congregation wanted to be baptized in the Holy Spirit so he got the "Canadians" to pray for people. I hadn't ever done this before. But i stepped out in faith, trusting that God was gonna do His thing. So we went up to people and put our hands on them and everyone we prayed for fell down! Holy Spirit definitely showed up, i'll put it that way! 
Ok so instead of going into all the trip details, i'll just share some short, brief, and powerful testimonies!

-during one of the conference days in General Santos Jeff shared a testimony of someone once being healed of flat feet. (they had no arch on the bottom of their feet) so Graeme, our directer/leader of the trip, wanted to activate the testimony! So if people had foot injuries they were suppose to raise their hand so we could go pray for God to heal them! I was sitting close to a lady named, Nenita, and she explained to me that it wasn't her feet that were bothering her, but it was the muscles in her legs! They were very painful for her when she walked. So i prayed for her legs and before she told me if her legs were healed or not she said that the muscles in her neck were also very painful and messed up so i prayed for her neck as well. After i prayed she tested it out by moving her neck around, stretching it and whatnot and it was TOTALLY HEALED!! After we both finished freaking out i asked how her legs were doing and she said they felt totally better!!
-while we were still in General Santos one of the ladies from our school, Mae, had a really had headache so i prayed that Holy Spirit would come blow on her and blow the headache away. After i finished praying she said that as i had been praying she felt some wind on her and the headache was totally gone!
-at the church in Manila a lady name Josephine came up to me and Clarke (a guy from our school) and she said that she had really bad back pain. Clarke explained to her that sometimes people get bad back pain when one of their legs are shorter then the other. So she sat back all the way in a chair and i took her legs to see if they were even, and one was shorter. So i grew out her leg! After she said her back felt so much better!!

i could go on for such a long time; there were so many more little testimonies!

A BIG thanks to everyone who helped by supporting me with prayers and with finances! Both were very much appreciated!
