Today we moved into a second guest apartment next door (to make room for another couple who are returning for the semester). However, I am working at my computer in the first apartment (until they arrive tomorrow noon), where I have electric and printer hookups. So, for the moment, we are living between the two apartments!
It is reminder to me—and a metaphor—of our experience the past six weeks. We are Americans living in an African culture. We still have one foot in the world from which we come, and another in the world where we presently are living. So we are, as it were, living in two worlds!
And believe me, they are very different! We have learned a lot living here, and that includes learning a lot about ourselves. I know for certain that I do not have the personality temperament to be a full-time missionary!
God must have a good sense of humor to put me into the midst of a laid-back, disorganized, time-unconscious culture! Or, is he wanting to teach me something?
