We are back in Manila

Sorry, we haven't been on in awhile. Just got back from our first home leave trip. Spent the time at my parents house and at Terri's mothers house in Arkansas. We really had a great time. Landon had a party with his old friends from school. Terri had a lunch with her friends. I had dinner with Rusty and Tom a couple of times. We had about 10 doctor/dentist appointments between all four of us. It was really a great, great time. Only took a few days to get used to how cold it was. Temps in the 40s is not too bad, but compared to our 90s everyday of the week, it is quite the change.

We were told that the first trip home would be the hardest. They were definitely right about that. It was so easy to get back into the hang of things being home. But it was unbelievably sad to have to get on the plane to come back here. Not that things are bad in Manila, it just isn't home. I am sure once school and work start (tomorrow), we will get into a routine. But it was much more difficult than I thought.

We were to happy to have you all home for Christmas. Your sadness at leaving was matched by ours. But we know that God has you there for a purpose. This morning in church we sang The Solid Rock just for you.
