Back home!

Back home, slept nearly all day!  ;)  In the past 2 weeks, we hiked through the Philippine jungle & cleared an area of land there for a tree nursery, harvested and built a bamboo fence for the garden, assisted in 3 births, did numerous prenatal and postpartum exams, passed out kids' multivitamins & did health education classes in the very poor areas of town, ate lots of mangos, then ate more mangos, and became very aware of how most of the time, we forget that we are a part of a beautiful extended global family.  I am thankful for how this trip reminded me of that.

This picture is when we were in a poor area of town, giving out vitamins and doing prenatal checks.  The kids all wanted to play with our stethoscopes!  :)

I didn't have good internet access during the trip, so I will post more pictures and journal entries soon.
