Anything we hold onto too tightly might have to be pried out of our hands. We are much better off if we give it up willingly. <br /><br />I know you know that - but a reminder is alway in place for all of us.TRUTH SHARERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069583768409534620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912085014902140242.post-70286666789287857902009-10-06T15:09:54.276-04:002009-10-06T15:09:54.276-04:00Yes, you give up the coffee shops, but think about...Yes, you give up the coffee shops, but think about the coffee beans you can grow and roast yourself!

As for a pool, you'll have 24/7 access to "the pearl" (I think the kids call it "the ruby" now). You won't have to clean the pearl or add chemicals. There's not much grass so you won't have to spend time missing your mower. Actually it will take some time to adjust but from the perspective of an MK, it's an experience that is worth givig up some things. I suppose it is harder as an adult to make the move than as a kid but Haiti, once it gets in your blood, will never die away!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00505664425352988461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912085014902140242.post-40913588480260518612009-10-06T12:52:38.963-04:002009-10-06T12:52:38.963-04:00LJ says you do not need high speed internet here b...LJ says you do not need high speed internet here because life is slower here, so you have more time to send and receive :)<br /><br />Ruth says, yes you are correct most missionaries feel the same way. There are many compensations that make up for what you are leaving behind though. I suggest Becky bring Kleenex. She will need them at times (you too maybe) When you return to the US to visit you will enjoy all these more and be so thankful for the blessings we enjoy in America. <br />Not saying this will be easy. I am saying it is worth everything you are giving up to come to this Country to serve our Lord. And your kids will love it here. So hurry on down your RMI family and you other friends are waiting for you'll.<br />PS it is a good thing to openly express your feelings and be honest about your concerns.haitimomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09466714429395285241noreply@blogger.com
