Here I sit on a plane, headed back to the states. In just a few short hours I will ne home, thousands of miles from the Philippines. What an incredible two months God allowed me to experience. I lived in a different culture with different values and expectations for two months. Life over there is so different. I love it that God loves all of us despite the different cultures, that we are His creation. The people are so friendly and open, which is so different from American cultures. There people love God and they express it and are passionate about Him, which is evident from the way they worship and pray. It has been so encouraging to me and has made me pursue God on a deeper level, immersing myself into continual prayer and wanting to read the Bible over and over again. God has changed me and tested me in more ways than I ever imagine I could go through, but in the end, I am so much stronger because of all that I experienced! I will miss the Philippines, I may never return, but I know that God will continue is work in the hearts of the people there. I thank God for allowing me the opportunity to not only serve the people and missionaries on the field, but also, to serve Him!
