Day 4: Entrustment Day...forever in our arms!!

It's 3:44am.....hmm I've woken up about every 2 hours. Don't have to actually be up until 5am!! Can you say with me...adrenaline rush!! Tyvon is up too....LOL

We left the hotel at 6am with our driver and headed to where our SW's would be waiting for us and kept moving towards Pampanga and the best thing was that we got there in 2 hours (that is HUGE). I couldn't believe it....I probably sounded and looked like a child at a candy store. Since we were there early, we had to hide from JE...LOL!! It was a very emotional time. We took a tour of there facilities...I will have to say they have the best gardens I've seen in a long time; so many beautiful flowers. They were very loving and excited for Joseph. 

The entrustment ceremony was amazing!! JE is amazing and took to us RIGHT away!! They had appetizers for us when we got there and prepared lunch which consist of lumpia. They had a few dances prepared for us, various greetings and speeches! 

Upon leaving RSCC, we headed to the World War II memorial! We had to drive up a large mountain about the same size as the one to get to Kwahu in Ghana, Africa. At the top is the monument which is at the foot of a 48 story cross....simply amazing!! I opted to stay at the foot of the cross, while Tyvon, Allan, our driver, and JE went on the elevator to the top of the monument to see the amazing views. There was also a museum there to tour and back down the mountain we went. Instead of heading back to Manila today, we decided to stay in the Subic Bay area to enjoy areas outside of Manila.

Claire, the director of Helping Hands Healing Hearts Ministry, met us at the hotel. We went a tour one of her 3 facilities and met some of the awesome kids there. Check out what they are doing...its truly awesome and powerful ministry. Next was off to the mall for for dinner and then to take JE to have his haircut....what an experience...I have a lot to learn about Asian hair...totally different than mine :)! We came back to our hotel, got prepared for bed and watch a little TV together.

My heart skipped a beat when I tucked him in to bed, kiss him goodnight and said I love you face to face!! No more waiting to talk one day a week on Skype!
