January 7th is our one year anniversary here. We have experienced a lot over the past year - fun, laughter, new experiences, making new friends (in the States, Honduras, Guatemala, and Germany), learning a new language(and still needing to learn so much more), learning a new culture (ditto with the language), struggles, family separation, the passing of Cindy’s mom, and learning more about God because of all these experiences.
I guess the one thing that stands out for both of us is that this is much more difficult than we ever thought. How do those who live in hostile cultures manage? We thought we were prepared and ready. We have found that the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual drain is difficult and wears you down. Perhaps we must reach this point to completely trust in and rely on God to bring us through. For God to work in a way that only He can get the credit.
