Are We Back Yet ?

WARNING: For those team members just back from the Philippines - Use extreme caution while driving and do not operate any heavy machinery or equipment - After 2 days of travel and crossing the international dateline, some drowsiness may occur. In fact for the next few days you may be tempted to cross the center divider and honk randomly at oncoming traffic.

After getting home from the airport last night I was watching the news and next thing I remember was waking up with the remote in my hands at around 12 a.m. Re-adjusting to our altitude and American culture after just one week in a third-world country may take some time. Hopefully we will never forget the captivating beauty of the country and its people.

Over the next few days we will attempt to share some of the photos and memories of this mission trip but words will not be adequate to describe the emotions - the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of our trip to the Children's Shelter of Cebu. In order to fully appreciate the miracles happening there, you must begin today to prepare yourself for our next journey in late Spring of 2009.
