budding missionaries

went to the airport this morning
had to wake up at really early at 5am
all because my brother was flying off to china
plus a bunch of people his age

they were going on 2 different mission trips
or rather they are called "cultural exchange" trips
anyhow..its good seeing all of them willing to go

for whatever reason they decide that they wanted to participate
whether because they really want to serve
or because of the friends
or just because everyone is going too
at least they are going to places they probably have never gone
a good 40 of them i think

its the brother's 2nd time
i reckon he really enjoys himself and learns plenty of new things
and i never thought i'll say this
but i guess deep down he is a good boy[really!]
just that you have to dig reeaaallll deep to find that
and choose to overlook the reality that when you put boys together
very often you get erm..crap..
it was painful listening to them talk

so he's off for a week
4 people in the house left

and a side note
look at the size of the bag he is bringing along
you would think he's there for a month
worse than the girls i tell you
