That Missionary Life

What wedding traditions did you find interesting from another culture? Did you ever think about the wedding traditions of your own culture?

What has music in a second language meant to you? Do you like worshipping better in your heart language? Do you think locals should learn translated music or music that comes from their own culture and history? Could it be an either/or or an and/both kind of thing?

How has your personality benefited or hindered you in missions? Is it harder for an introvert on the missions field than an extrovert? A team player versus a trailblazer? How have you seen this play out?

What ways were you able to easily connect with people from across the world? What kind of stereotypes did you have to face/break? How did locals respond to Americans?

Have you ever been a part of an English camp or teaching EFL? Had students of all ages and abilities in one classroom? What funny stories of miscommunication do you love to share? We will have to have another episode for that!

How do you know when to stop a good thing? When do you re-evaluate? What is it like to look back and realize you met people five years ago who are now a huge part of your heart?

Still figuring out what we are and how to do this.
