And I would like to share a little bit about how it has completely transformed my life.
There was a lot of things that I faced, loneliness, expectations on my husband or on the mission field that didn't meet up to my expectation.
I had wanted to be a missionary alongside of my husband and do missionary work, evangelizing the villages.
But once I started having children, I needed to stay at the house with the children.
So the complete disappointment was something that I had to face while my husband was gone three nights a week to the villages.
And what Was I sitting at the house, my little mud hut, grass roof house? What was I doing in Africa if I wasn't going to be evangelizing? So that discouragement settled in on me.
And his truth really grounded my emotions during those times, my mind, my thoughts, the confusion of, I thought I was going to be a missionary.
So God and Daniel were very patient with me as I learned to find fulfillment in being a wife, being a mother on the mission field, And all that that entails, I face a lot of the same things that you women face in the States.
Likely I face a lot of some of the same things that you missionary wives face in other parts of the world.
