Missionaries.  Those super-saints that never get frustrated… ever ever….

Ok, scratch that.  So, missionaries get frustrated a LOT.  What do you expect?  They’re always chasing problems and lost people and all stuff like that there.  What have our bloggers been frustrated about lately?

I do believe I managed to have 26 different countries as well.

So hard… but so rewarding!

13 September 2010

Yes, it’s often the theme of missionary blog posts.  And yet, it really can’t be explained in a post.  The challenges that missionaries face – how "simple" tasks around the house can sometimes cause so much discouragement – the heart-rending challenges in relationships – crying with those who cry – the silent discouragement that comes [...]
