I've been back home now for 2 weeks after spending 2 months on the other side of the planet. The most common question: how does it feel to be back? The answer: GREAT! I love traveling, always have. I plan on traveling a lot more in the future. But my favorite part of traveling is coming home.
There's been only a moment or two of reverse culture shock, hardly worth mentioning. Mainly it comes in the form of realizing that I'm free to talk about God and religion and stuff now, and free to identify myself as a missionary.
There are lots of moments, though, when I suddenly sigh deeply and realize how good it is not to be eating strange foods, talking to people who speak strange languages, and driving my very own vehicle.
The world needs Jesus, and I'm happy to travel and share the good news wherever God sends me. But it's great to take a breather with friends and family, and eat a cheeseburger!!!
Thanks to all of you who prayed so hard for me on the trip. It was amazing. Hundreds were saved. You'll read & see more in my newsletter, in pictures on my picture page, and in a lot of other places on my website. But, in the immortal words of Dorthy, there's no place like home.
