Local Man Finds Exotic Locale Empty And Returns Home to New Neighbors
In a hilarious twist of fate, 22-year-old Chad Whitebread's summer mission trip to the remote island of Faroffistan ended before it began. Upon arrival, Chad discovered the entire population had emigrated to his hometown of Suburbia, USA.
"I was all set to save souls and build wells," lamented Chad, "but the place was emptier than a Joel Osteen sermon on humility."
Unbeknownst to Chad, while he was busy fundraising and learning how to say "Jesus loves you" in Faroffistani, the entire island's population had packed up and moved to America, settling in Chad's very own neighborhood.
"It's ironic," Chad mused, "I ignored my immigrant neighbors for years, thinking I needed to travel halfway across the world to find people who needed Jesus. Turns out, they were right under my nose the whole time."
Back in Suburbia, the Faroffistani refugees have set up a thriving community, complete with authentic cuisine and colorful festivals. They've even started a "Reverse Mission" program, aimed at educating clueless American youth about cultural sensitivity and the complexities of global migration.
Meanwhile, Chad's parents are struggling to adjust to their new Faroffistani neighbors. "They keep trying to feed us something called 'ethnic food,'" Chad's mother complained. "I miss the good old days when the most exotic thing on our street was Mrs. Johnson's questionable tuna casserole."
As for Chad, he's considering a new career in immigration law or perhaps opening a fusion restaurant. "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em," he shrugged. "Plus, I hear there's a real market for avocado toast with a side of Faroffistani spices."
