It all started with a conversation at Tim Hortons with my buddy Jon. He asked me to come to the Philippines and hang out with him for a while. So I did. I said yes and a couple of months later hopped on a plane and headed for the Philipines. It was there where my life was changed. I stayed for 3 months, came back to Canada only to realize that my heart was in the Philippines.
So I raised as much money as I could, hopped on the next thing going to the Philippines and here I am....
Now that I'm here, I have come to realize that I have absolutely no clue what I am doing. ( I'm sure my supporters will be glad to hear that....) but that's not exactly what I mean. I know what my roles are here in the Philippines, I know what responsibilities I have, I know what work needs to be done.... but I have no clue how to do it. This is all new to me.
Now that my good friends Jon and Carmi have left to go back to Canada, I am basically alone here in the Philippines. It's kinda cool cause it is the beginning and the end of something for all 3 of us. For Jon and Carmi, it is the end of an amazing mission in the Philippines and the beginning of a new one in Canada. For myself, It is the end of my comfort zone and the beginning of... A Leap of Faith.
