Doober.
It sure is an adjustment coming back home after having lived in Peru a while. Some changes were expected, like driving places instead of walking. Some changes have been enjoyable, like not having to wait for the water to heat up before hopping in a hot shower. Some changes have been inconvenient, like no longer having wireless internet in my home. And some changes have just hurt. Like having to look at pictures of kids in San Marcos instead of swinging on the swings with them.
It's a whole different world here. Not just because I saw a different way of living for a few months, but because that way of living changed my perspective. My home isn't what changed while I was away. I'm what changed while I was away, and now it kind of feels like I don't fit in very well anymore. I'm trying to adjust. But it's hard. And a little lonely. I don't know what to do.

You're pretty amazing. But that's nothing new. I (along with the multitude)am glad you are back. Besides everything else, just for the selfish reason of liking to have you around cuz . . . you're AMY.
I'm sure that it is hard to come back. But I'm also sure that everyone loves having you back. And yes yesterday was really fun. :)
Hey Amy, I'm a friend of Sarah Shead's, I work in Costa Rica now. But I brought my family back from Honduras in 2000 after 5 years work and life there (our daughter was born there) and I felt the same for a while. Sorry about that. I decided when I left that I would never do that again (say goodbye to people), unless it was for Jesus. We're back in Central America again, and we're pressing on. I hope you get to feeling better, you have a good family there at Downey I think. I saw your blog through Sarah's, you seem to do a good job at that. My wife is very good at it, and I'm trying to be, since I know a lot of people will connect with the mission field that way and pray. I'll pray for you today. That you feel the way you do right now tells me you did a good job at loving people.
