People are always asking me what is the hardest part of being a missionary... the language, the living conditions... what? The hardest part of being a missionary is always saying goodbye to family and friends. We've been blessed to be in the States for Christmas and then to spend time with partnering churches in several states. But as we get closer to returning we are excited about going home... because that is where we live, but the ache in our hearts starts getting more painful at the thought of leaving our family. Of course this sadness is normal because of how much we love them and it in no way diminishes our love for our work and the Ukrainian people. But being a missionary is letting God sooth the pain of separation from our loved ones while we follow His wlll for our lives.
