Approaching the 3 year mark of me + Honduras
Tuesday marks 3...
3 years of living in La Mosquitia, Honduras.
Somewhere I read that if a missionary makes it 3 years, they should be able to continue long-term. In other words, some expert said those first 3 years of mission work in a foreign field are tough and many don't make it.
I get that.
I've lived that.
I've wondered if I would make it to 3.
And I've felt myself settling this year in a much different way than before.
I used to count the months until we would return to the US for a visit. (When I was really homesick, I would count the days.)
I don't count anymore.
Time passes quickly. The US trips come and go. The teams come and go.
I live here now.
And, while I still am in-between, it is an equal in-between and a settled-ness that is welcomed.
On Tuesday, I hope to write something more. But, as in years past, I want to open up to questions from you, too. Do you have questions about this life? If you are curious about anything, send me an e-mail and I will try to answer them on Tuesday. :)
