Wrap Up

I think we all know that it's true that you appreciate things more once you go without them, but it's a whole other business to experience it. While I loved my time in Africa and plan to go back someday, it feels so good to be back home. These three months have been the longest I've ever been away, and I now have greater respect for Eric and other missionaries, as well as our troops, who have left home to do other work. After we got picked up at the airport we went out to Toco Bell for lunch and I was just giddy about it. Free-refills rock. We're so blessed here. The important question to ask though, is "why?"
We seem to be doing well, adjusting to the time change, and I'm sure we'll be back to normal by this weekend. On Friday I'm taking a bus to Chicago where I'll get to meet up with Arol and my small group homies, and I can't wait for that. I'll be back in Minooka this Saturday.
On Sunday I'll be seeing most of you again, and I can't wait for that. I've missed MBC so much! In the mean time, I'll be taking my "How to be an American" classes and eating greasy food!



How to Be an American:
Lesson 1: Wear deoderant.

I am glad that you learned that lesson before we see you. We had dinner with your Family last night. We talked a lot about you. I wish you could have been there. We loved your voicemail message and wished we could have been home to answer it!
