Well, it's been a while now. We've been quite busy lately with various activities, not the least of which includes planning for our return visit to our homeland. That's right. And it's approaching rather quickly now. In 36 hours we'll be in the airport in Davao. Our flight leaves around 10:00 pm Sunday evening (which will be 10:00 am Sunday morning back home) for the 1 hour 45 minute flight to Manila. We stay there for about 6 hours, then leave on our 18 hour flight to Detroit (with one stop in Nagoya, Japan). After about 2 hours, we fly to Philadelphia, arriving a little after 3:30 in the afternoon (local time). In all, our travel time is about 30 hours. We're not really looking forward to all of that. But we are looking forward to being home for a visit.
For anyone who is interested, we have scheduled two times for sharing our stories from the past year. On August 7 we will be sharing at our home church, Blainsport Mennonite Church, during the 10:00 am service. Also, on August 24 we will be sharing at my parents' church, Ephrata United Zion Church, during their Prayer & Praise service at 6:30 pm. We are interested in sharing more, so please let us know if you have a group interested in hearing our stories.
Well, I'll try to find some time in an airport to update about our travels, but I can't promise that I'll remember, have the time or find a free wireless connection. But we'll try to keep you posted on our whereabouts.
Now, it's time to start packing! See you soon!
