I suppose the facts that I've been fighting malaria for several weeks and that my mom has been put on Hospice since I arrived in Tanzania might have a lot to do with my feelings. However, I also know I've never in my life been so far away from the people who love, support, and (in my grandchildren's cases) downright adore me. It hurts to be away.
And so, I'm going through my crabby time. At times, I think I'll never go on such a long-term mission trip again. It's just too heart-wrenching. But I also know I don't regret coming here and being God's hands and feet at Angel House. What a humbling realization it is that God's plan for Africa could involve crabby old me!

Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that I was thinking about you. I feel for you, and am thankful that God is definitely working through you...I know it's difficult to be away from your family...thank you for being led that direction, away from the comfort of home. May He bless you even more as you are being such a blessing to the Angels.
