Cross-cultural stress

I'm at our first wrestling tournament for the season today. 

So I'm reposting a link to an article I wrote about missionary stress that was published in May last year: http://thriveconnection.com/2015/05/05/cross-cultural-stress/

Here's a post I wrote last year when I was experiencing a lot of stress and it was coming out in my health. The doctor asked, "Are you stressed?" (We'd just moved back to Japan a couple of months earlier and my son had been in hospital, not to mention that I was struggling to do this medical discussion in my second language.)
