because I am leaving from Guam tomorrow to go home and see my children and wonderful companion, Roxy, my miniature schnauzer. I can always tell you what I have seen and done but I don't know how to share my emotions and feelings. I cry when I tell my co-workers, corpsmen and sailors goodbye because I know I will never see them again. I have missed my family so much but would do a mission like this again in a heartbeat. I have met such resilient, beautiful, humble people in all the countries I traveled to. I wish we Americans could fully appreciate what we have, not be so self-centered, materialistic and unappreciative. I love my religion, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, for without their support I would not have been able to be a part of this project. I thank Heavenly Father for giving me the strength and health to have climbed the stairs over 20,000 times and, most of all I thank my children for their support of my desire to serve on this project, for the love and respect I feel from them and for them choosing me as their Mother. I hope I have set a good example for them and that in their lifetime will choose also to serve a humanitarian mission. Thanks to all my friends who have followed this blog and remember that when I get home I will post many more photos on a better internet system but this same blog address. I love you all.....Rachael, Mark, Sarah, Grady, Bobbi, Lindy, Rebecca, Matthew, John, Allen and Robert and Lyle. Oh, and Roxy, Kone' and Zac, my companions who don't talk back to me.
