Day ?: Honestly, I don't know what day it is. I experienced two Saturday's without hardly seeing the sun. I got about 4 hours sleep combined between the plane ride and my overnight stay in LA. And then I was in and out of consciousness on the plane ride back to Boston. And when I saw Deidi and my mom picking me up at the airport it felt like a dream. Especially because Deidi had come with a 3 ft tube of extremely long Twizzlers. I was thinking "am I actually dreaming all this back in my hotel room in LA". It kind of felt like Alice in Wonderland for a second. But fortunately it was all real. I had made it back. And it couldn't come any sooner. Life in the Philippines was definitely exciting and to call it an adventure may be an understatement but in the end I was definitely longing the comforts of home and my family. Sure that means that all the responsibilities and obligations return as well but they really don't seem that bad after you have spent soo much time away from them. In any event, last night I got my best nights sleep in the last two weeks. I clonked out around 10 PM and work up around 6:30 AM. Deidi was there passed out beside me and I had this overwhelming feeling.....I'm home.

Marc,
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog through a Google search. I haven't read through the whole thing yet, but I will. We are heading to the Philippines for the special convention in October. I would love to be able to get any advice you may have for us. We are currently trying to decide between the Rice Terraces and El Nido. We'd like to go in service and go to meetings and get to know the local brothers while we're there. Our email address is timthemason at bellsouth dot net. We hope to hear from you.
