“I have found that there are three stages in every great work of God; first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.”

| My dad and I at the Holy Land Experience. |
On Monday, 5. August, we began our journey back to Pioneers' headquarters in Orlando. The trip was rather uneventful, although I felt progressively worse and worse until we arrived in the early hours of the next day. I wasn't quite sure what I had caught, but looking back on it, I would wager that it was some sort of bacteria I picked up in Munich with its intensity increased due to caffeine withdrawal. (As soon as I was in Munich, I went from drinking four to six cups of coffee per day to none at all. The stupidity of this decision did not hit me until several weeks after I returned.) My temperature was the worst point was 101, four degrees higher than my usual temperature of 97.
Debriefing at Pioneer's headquarters consisted mainly of sharing with each other about our summer work, re-adapting to American culture, and dealing with an American's possible reactions towards the work we did. I missed the first half of debriefing since I could not really tolerate being out of bed, but the Pioneers staff and my team were very understanding and caring.

| Herod's temple featured in the scale model of Jerusalem. |
I was ready to be home after debriefing, but my family stopped again in Ocala to visit our cousins. The visit was wonderful and allowed us some more time to visit with each other and catch up. We visited a local spring-fed lake that offered a glass-bottom boat ride. The lake was beautiful, even though we shared it with several crocodiles. We also visited the Holy Land Experience, a local theme park that offered Bible-based attractions. We watched a reenactment of a priest offering the sacrifice in the Holy of Holies, examined a room-sized scale model of Jerusalem from the early first century, and watched a play depicting the life of a very lively, Pentecostal Jesus who ran up and down the aisles of the theater yelling and healing people in the audience. When the time came for my family to head home on Sunday, we said our goodbyes to my cousins and left for Birmingham. Although we had a good time visiting in Ocala, I was looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.
