Honey We're Home

We finally made it home this past Saturday night at around 8:30pm. After 16 hours and 45 minutes of travelling we were ready to see those gleaming lights of LAX our the window. Though it seemed to take forever for our bags to arrive at the baggage claim, we had finally made it. It is nice to be cold again and the heated showers are amazing. Oh how a trip overseas changes your perspective. We are so blessed to live in the United States, and though it surely has it's problems it always nice to be home. Heaven though will be so much greater. Before leaving I shared a devotion with my bible study in the park about the trials and hardship we face in this world, but that we have a hope in Christ that one day we will be together with him. Philippians 3:21+21 says: "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself." Though it is nice to be back to spend time with our family and friends, we rejoice in the fact that though this may be our earthly home, Our heavenly home will be so much better. We hope to see many of you while we are here in the states and would like to thank you all for the opportunity that you afford us to serve the Lord full time in the Philippines.

In His Service,
Justin and Erin McDonald
