Finding Joy in Suffering

Wow, the experiences i have had the last couple days have been overwhelming and extremely frustrating, but at the same time a well needed experience. Even though i have endured through the long tedious and financially burdening task to recover my identity, i have seen much joy and growth from it. Even though i was unable to retrieve my past belongings, i have obtained a temporary passport. i am coming home. i am no longer john doe any longer, but noneother than mark rose, and that feels really good. what feels even better though is the fact that it gave me a challenge, a challenge i really needed to test my resilience as a traveler and as a human being. thank u for your prayers and support and encouragement. i definately did not like all the hassle of obtaining what i needed, but in a weird way, i felt its what i needed personally.
