Hi Gladys. Yes, for us it’s mixed feelings. We miss the States when we’re here, but we then miss the Philippines when we’re on furlough in the States. And although our children were all born in the States, they feel the same way. And as much as we hate it here sometimes, we also know that God has assigned us here for His work.

It’s really home sweet home. Pinas talaga — laging nakakamiss.

Hi Melissa. Actually, if you’re one of those Greenies, here’s your chance to save a lot of water. We also use it for flushing the toilet.

Oh! A bucket bath. I haven’t had one of those since I was in Pakistan…

I know the frustrations, not to mention how much I struggled a couple of
months ago when Manila Water “accidentally” busted PLDT’s fiber optic line in
Mandaluyong. Resulting to a huge Internet outage for almost 1 month.
Killing most of the nearby call centers’ connection including us. Then I
realized, I’m still in the Philippines after all. Hehe.
