How Do They Do It?

If nothing else, this trip has taught me what it feels to be alone in your faith, to be the only Christian in a foreign place. I don't know how missionaries do it. Or, at least, how they did it before the Internet. Maybe this is only a fleeting thing, but I feel like I've gotten over missing my close friends. What I miss most is a warm bed, my own schedule with which to use it, and the knowledge that Christians are never too far away. It's like the greatest club and support group, and I feel like if I was ever stranded with no sleep and nowhere to go, I could always count on someone through the church to help me out.
