Welcome to the Philippine Islands
Chiang Mai, Thailand from half way up the mountain
I have been away for 2 inexcusable weeks. I offer my sincerest apologies for this fact. The last weeks in Thailand was absolutely crazy as we finished up our teaching and said farewell to the students. It was much more difficult than I expected to say good bye to the students as they completely overwhelmed me with gifts and notes (they did that for all of us) and I absolutely didn't know what to do with notes from them that said things like "You are a good teacher" and "You made learning English fun." I was very touched. When I had to say good bye to Prin and Sarah (church members I became extremely close to) I went upstairs in the Center and cried for a while.

Then, after staying up all that Friday night to pack and re-pack and re-pack again I made it to the sahng taw at 5:30 a.m. to head to the airport and off to the Philippines to meet up with the SEU team here. The Evangel team was heading back to Bangkok with me to stay there for a night or two before heading back to the states. I had a pleasant conversation with a lady in the airport and her Kiwi husband (New Zealander) and then I got my exit stamp and headed to the Philippine Islands.
(Bug that woke me up and kept me up the night before my last day in Thailand)
Now I am sitting in Manila after three days and I am so tired I haven't even been able to process much of what has happened. For the moment I will say that I have been blessed and I will post again with details and photos as soon as I can.
