I have to admit that the week leading to my departure date was filled with anxiety, fear, and unease (which I knew to expect, but it was more than I felt comfortable with). I couldn’t remember why I was leaving. I worried that my personality would clash with my new host family. I worried that God would use this time to isolate me. I didn’t feel like I would have anything new to offer this time around. These were irrational and selfish fears, I know, but that does not erase the fact that they clouded my vision, and God’s vision, for this ...
