Two More Days

In two more days, or in Eric and Faith speak, "three more sleeps," we will be leaving for home. We will be going from one weather extreme to another.
This is always a somewhat bittersweet time. While I miss my Filipino home, and I am looking forward to getting back to Iloilo, it is always hard to say goodbye to our family and friends here in the States. I love our life and ministry on the mission field, at the same time saying goodbye to people we love is not easy.

My responsibilities with the internship require me to say in Iloilo until the internship is completed. I will be returning to the States March 23. We have never been apart as a family for so long. Honestly I am very much not looking forward to being away from my family. I am not looking at this as a "break" from my kids so I can finally do some "real ministry." I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities here in Iloilo, especially as it involves training future full-time missionaries. However, I am not at all looking forward to being apart from my most favorite people in the world. The reason why Chris needs to leave for the States at this time is beca...
