Leaving on a jet plane...

Well, I had every intention of finishing my summary of our time at home in the last day or so, but time got the better of me and now we leave in the morning to fly back to Manila. I will finish the summary, but it will be another couple days before I will have the time to do it. It has been a wonderful time at home and we are so thankful that we had the chance to spend time with those we saw and to those we didn't see, hopefully we will see you when we are in the States next time. Thinking back through all that has happened since November, I am sad to leave. I always have so much fun with family and friends during our time here and although we have some really good friends in Manila, nothing can ever replace those here. Looking forward, I can't wait to get back into our ministry and friends in the Philippines. There really isn't a better feeling than knowing you are doing exactly what God wants you to do with your life. So, once again I feel caught in that strange place where I am caught between two great places. (This is when Daniel without ever really saying it would probably tell me I am a little too sentimental, but hey I am female.) Please pray for us, for our safety, for being crazy enough to fly with an 18 month old, for patience from those seated around us and for everything to go smoothly with immigration/customs in the Philippines.
