Hi Antonia, I agree with everything you have said.  When I think about the challenges you bring up in cross-cultural mission work, I  could wonder why God chooses to partner with ordinary people like me and you.  However, I know that  in the process of carrying out his task, we are changed as well.  Our faith grows and we become more like him.. .and that pleases me! 

Happy December 7th! It’s over!
