The First Episode
If you haven’t seen the first episode yet, here it is. Episode 2 is coming up on Sunday, and it deals with how we settled into life in Africa, if you ever really settle in. Honestly, just living in a third world country takes up so much of your time and energy that there is never an opportunity to really get settled. At least not in the two months that we were there.
There are no restaurants, no grocery stores with everything in one place, no local supply of mac n cheese. Everything took four or five stops to find, and then several more hours to prepare. That was if the power stayed on the whole time. We definitely returned with a new respect for those on the mission field in the most challenging places, giving their lives to share the gospel. It takes a strong heart and a lot of patience. And in those challenging places, you realize how little patience you actually have within you. It can bring out the best in you, or expose the worst. Most days, it did both.
WOW!!!
That is incredible!
Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life!
Can't wait for episode 2.
Thank you for going. Thank you for serving our continent and this country. Thank you for the example you set for your children and your peers. Thank you for big hearts and brave steps. Thank you for airplane rides with four kids, bumpy cars, few supplies, small stores, real time service.
Thank you.
