Thinking of Home and Thinking of Ministry Here

The children were talking about things they were going to enjoy about going home to America. I realized my two youngest children who will turn 5 and 3 this month do not remember much about America. My 5 year old, Hopie, says, "You can't say 'olgeta meri kam long dispela ples' in America." :). She has at least figured out that people in America don't understand tok pisin. Since we have no roads or cars here in our area we will all be in culture shock to drive everywhere :). The kids don't get out to the city very often because of expense. They may get out once a year. We were talking at breakfast about the cereal aisles in America. Daddy said when we got back to America we could all pick our own box of cereal to eat! You should have heard the cheers that went up. We did come back to reality when daddy said 2 more years before we go to the US. Do we get "homesick"? Yes. Do we stay that way? No. Whenever the kids come to me saying they miss home, I try to sympathize with them for a minute but then turn their thoughts back to here and the ministry we are doing right now. So what is going on here? Stay tuned...
