Nolan's review of Dibagat trip

Nolan working with the Isnags

This was a great experience for me. I felt from the planning of this mission trip that it was God’s will that I should become a part of it. I have been in South America three times but this experience was like a new frontier for me. So, thanks for allowing me to be a part of the team. This was God’s work and with working with the Isnag people this project was accomplished.  As a team, we all had different personalities but we soon learned to work together getting to know each other.

Learning to know the Isnag people was meaningful to me. I was glad that some knew enough English to make conversation.  Since I have been home I wished now that I would have had more conversations with the people there. I appreciated how they helped me in laying block.  This mission trip helped me to build a greater trust in our Lord as there were miracles that took place.

As this was my first trip to Dibagat this adventure was really special to me.   I really appreciated the cooks and the delicious meals they prepared.  The times we had sharing as a group were very meaningful to me.  The trip down the river was an experience I will never forget.  The boatmen sure knew how to handle the boat.  The scenery was beautiful, the bus trip was long but I got a glimpse of what life was like along the route we took.. On this trip to Dibagat I saw what God was doing there in a very remote area of the Philippines which is over 7000 miles away from Orrville, Ohio.   Praise the Lord.
