We got up early and loaded the L3 so a missionary could check all the bags and get our boarding passes. We waited around at the guesthouse for 3 hours saying goodbyes and taking group pictures. I also saw that Andy and some Filipino guys were digging a septic hole for the guesthouse. Then we headed over to the airport. I had to fight back the tears as Andy, Sam, and Sandy watched us head into the terminal.

We got to Manila and a missionary met us there and got some vans to take us to the guesthouse. Carol, Ed, and Liezel parted company with the rest of the group, so now it’s down to Gerry, Al, Jim, Larry, Steph, and me. We got to the guesthouse in Manila and just sat around for the rest of the evening. It would have been much better to stay in Puerto for another day instead of spending two days in Manila.
