Recollection

Today started another round of recollections put on by the campus ministry office. The recollection we had today was a lot more emotional for the students. What really touched me was the fact that the meditation I lead today put one girl into tears. She really got so much from it and I was taken back I really didn't know how to talk to her. Just all around, more people were brought to tears. If one person starts to cry during a story, then that story might impact someone else. It was also the first time we had two guys really break down. Throughout all the recollections I am starting to discover how poor some of the students really are. Some were thankful that they had enough money to attend the recollection, it just worries me how they are able to afford the tuition. It seems like they really are getting by one day at a time. Besides the poverty, I am also discovering that some students lose a parent early in there life. In my small group last week, out of a group of 10, 3 had already lost there father. I'm glad that they are able to come to the recollection and get some of this stuff off of there chest and just let it all out.

Other than the recollection, been taking it easy. So I have remembered some other things particular to the Filipino culture. Most of the men have hair gel in there hair. No lie almost every guy you see has hair product in. It's funny and sometimes there hair is hard as rock.

So my computer charger is not working, so it takes me forever just to type one blog now, so hopefully I can either get it fixed or replaced, we shall see.
