someplace in the middle

I'm back in America...but I'm not home. Yesterday I landed in Colorado. I am here for three weeks to take a class. I finally get to learn how to live as a missionary. After the first day of classes, I think it's going to be
hard
enriching
review
deep
difficult
new.
Those are my words. Today a man was talking about the things that we'll cover while we're here. As he talked about what most people will experience as they move into a new culture, my eyes filled up with tears. He was describing what I have experienced this past year. I'm looking forward, but it also wears me out to anticipate all that we'll be going through in the next weeks. Please pray for me.

Hi Anna....mom encouraged me to check out your blog. Wow...well I am glad it will be a stretching time....but stretching is not always easy as you know. I/we are so thankful to God for you...not just because you are working hard at being a missionary...which is great...but because of the heart you have for God. It is a great encouragement to us and an example as well. Remember...our God does have a plan for YOU - and it is a GOOD one! Love - Dad
