Learning experience

Still about $700 away from my goal.  I am thankful that I will have the opportunity to serve throughout the Philippines.  I am looking forward to being immersed in their culture and way of life for a few weeks.  Locally, Filipinos have proven to be some of the most caring and friendly I have met.  I can't wait to step out of this U.S. bubble.  Anytime I've had interactions with people from different countries, it makes me ashamed of how culturally inept I am and how ignorant I am of events happening around the world.
