It reminds me of a comment by Vincent Donovan who says, "a missionary is essentially a social martyr."Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949941769635660828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-6787762254121746642009-09-18T15:11:29.536+09:002009-09-18T15:11:29.536+09:00Hi Wendy, you'd definitely have to be 'cal...Hi Wendy, you'd definitely have to be 'called' to be a missionary otherwise there's no way anyone'd want to do it hey!<br /><br />But then I say the same thing about teachers ;-)Footprints Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623190578935913157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-49372775816372534022009-09-17T12:40:28.649+09:002009-09-17T12:40:28.649+09:00Susan, certainly you can "guest post" me...Susan, certainly you can "guest post" me.

I would like to "guest post" you on this one if that is ok. <br /><br />You're right, I have never thought about "loneliness" to describe our missionary life, but true.<br /><br />Well written.<br /><br />Hope you can have some more quieter evenings to just "live" with your family so you all don't feel so tired.<br /><br />Remember to give yourself time to "re-couperate" from all the stress and tiredness of transitioning!!
