ba·lut (noun) : a Filipino delicacy that consists of a developing
duck embryo that is boiled alive + eaten in the shell
and so it begins....
We opened our eggs not knowing what we were gonna get in ours
Kathleen just going for it + drinking the questionable liquids inside the egg
(I don't know how she ate hers so fast...)
My fellow UC San Diegan brother, Chris, chompin' away at his yummy embryo
As if you can't already tell from the pictures, I did NOT enjoy balut
(If you'd like some graphic details of how it tasted, you can ask me in person
...even though I'd question why you'd want to know)
Michael, one of our student leaders, shoving all of it into his mouth
(which I would definitely not recommend, considering I did the same
+ took roughly 10 min to finish it)
You may be wondering why we had to eat balut for our training + honestly, I wondered that too.
But I learned that the point was to push us out of our comfort zones in preparation for the many
times we'd be uncomfortable on the mission field (no, it wasn't to put us mission trainees through
suffering....at least I hope not.) It was an interesting experience, but I'm not sure if if I'd do it again
based on this experience.

This was such a fun part of our training because it was a break from all the skits + body worship
+ it brought out my inner child. We went outside, sang our hearts out, danced + basically acted
like fools. The point of open air evangelism is to be really loud + attract villagers to follow
us so we can share the gospel + the beautiful love of God!
