Team Update: 2006 Discovery Orientation

Man, it's been a busy summer! From June - August, we will have hosted 12 teams here in the Philippines! A lot of the time, I'm stuck behind the computer, emailing team leaders, trying to work out some of the logistical stuff, but fortunately, we ARE able to get out every once in awhile with a team and enjoy some of the Philippines.

One of the teams that we get to interact the most with is the Discovery team. You may remember us talking about the Discovery 2005 team last year.

Anyway, back in June, Ellen and I, and our new friend Sarah, had the chance to orient this team to the Philippines. Here are some pics:

Here's the team, gathered on some rocks overlooking a river where we watched a baptism.
