yes, them. This pic was taken at Kristin's bridal shower. I would've been there, but I'm thousands of miles and an ocean and expensive plane ticket away. Don't ever let anyone tell you being a missionary is glamorous or easy. It is wonderful and a blessing...because I know I am called to be here right now. However, sometimes it's really hard. People give up a lot when they decide to work in ministry, especially in another country. I've had an emotional week. I easily start to cry when I think about Kendra being prego and me missing this important part of her life (and I can't talk to my nephew and feel him move inside of her), and when I realize I'm missing all the planning and anticipation of a family wedding and upcoming birth. Yeah, it's hard. I guess I just felt like being transparent on this blog entry. Pray for me!! Thanks.
