Filipino Bucket List

So….

This isn’t a traditional bucket list where I had a list of things I wanted to accomplish before I left. This is the kind where I experienced things so amazing that I couldn’t have even imagined them before. Here it goes:

  1. Attempt White Water Rafting at 7 in the morning.
  2. Have my heart stolen by a 2 year old toddler.
  3. Learn something useful, like de-rusting a steel bar.
  4. Eat a 16-week old incubated duckling out of its shell.
  5. Repel off of a 100 foot bridge.
  6. Lead worship in a Sunday morning church service.
  7. Ride a caribo (water buffalo).
  8. Experience the birth of 5 kittens.
  9. Witness God’s supernatural healing power.
  10. Learn to handwash and dry laundry.
  11. Make a cloth diaper.
  12. Climb an ancient staircase.
  13. Jump off a 50 foot cliff.
  14. Learn to make concrete.
  15. Feed hungry children.
  16. Bring joy to an orphan (got pied in the face).

The hardest thing I did was leave this precious place behind! I have experienced God and life in ways I never thought possible. Philippines, I hope to see you again.
