As I seek to put into words exactly how I”m feeling with one day left before I Ieave… I’m realizing that I don’t really have any words at all. I don’t really know how to explain myself, my thoughts, my fears, my excitement, etc. I heard this quote on a movie and I think it actually fits this situation quite well: 
 
 
  “From the outside looking in, you can’t understand it, and from the inside looking out, you can’t explain it”
 
 
I don’t have any eloquent words as I leave California and head over to Manila. I’m actually quite scatterbrained right now. I’m sick. My left arm has some weird sharp shooting pain. My to do list seems to be getting longer instead of shorter. My bags weigh too much. My mind is elsewhere. And it’s 1am and I should be asleep.  
 
1240am on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, I will be on a 14 hour plane headed to Taiwan, followed by a 3 hour layover and another 2 hour plane to Manila.
 
Amiss the chaos and sickness and confusion… what I really need are your prayers! Please pray for me and my family especially during the next 24 hours and in the upcoming week.
 
I will arrive in Manila on April 9th @ 1145am local time (meaning night time on April 8th). I will let everyone know I am safe in Manila as soon as possible.
Thanks and God Bless!
