Fun, and exciting. And no, I wasn't worried that you weren't going to be a real person :-)<br /><br />I definitely agree about the connections. In fact, the longer one has been a missionary (or a missionary kid) the more the chance for connections grows. since both of us are MKs, and my hubby grew up overseas, ka-pow! The chance for connections just grew exponentially! But, how fun is that?!Sarah DeSalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648711711757596328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537301261148220329.post-85575985623753023542010-07-08T07:12:18.442-05:002010-07-08T07:12:18.442-05:00Yeah, I can relate.

I'm glad you weren't worried that I'd turn out to be an axe murderer or terribly freaky. <br /><br />(Okay, so I admit there is a bit of freakiness here, but you joined right in with your own and it was a lot of fun!)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16695052568128667452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537301261148220329.post-67843500431426012242010-07-08T04:23:33.621-05:002010-07-08T04:23:33.621-05:00Amen and amen!

When I find out someone is a missionary it is like I am meeting a long lost cousin. And, yes, we do understand each other better than the general Christian population. I forget that when I am in the US sharing about missions, that not everyone is as passionate about it as we are-sad for them.<br />So glad you are getting to meet a few of your blogger friends and having a great time in your home country!:)Shan in Japanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467051065525879573noreply@blogger.com
