The day finally arrived! Seth is home. It was a long day picking up Seth at the Los Angeles airport but not near as long as his 15 hours of plane rides. He didn't recognize Wendy, he thought she was Janelle Mastaler from a distance. Abbey also shocked him. Emily looked about the same to him and of course Craig and I have gained a few pounds. The adrenaline was pumping and he didn't stop talking till bedtime. What a great opportunity he had to serve an honorable mission in the Naga, Philippines mission. He definitely has a love for the Filipino people. He has already told us plenty of fun stories and experiences. Tagalog words are still quite often intermixed with his English. Already I have been listening to Filipino music that he bought just before he came home. His Filipino companion told him what CD's to buy. He said music was the thing he missed the most. We are happy to have him home, but it is a little bittersweet for Seth. The Philippines became home to him. Our family has truly been blessed because of his service.
