The Longest I've Ever Been Gone

By the time you read this I will have officially been out of my home country longer than I've ever been. In 2000 I went on my first mission trip to Belize that lasted 3 months. Today marks exactly 3 months that we've been in Costa Rica. So, anything past today is a record for me.

I can still remember how it was becoming hard for me by the end of the 3rd month in Belize (homesickness, some culture shock, etc.), but thankfully the Lord is helping me here and it doesn't seem so hard.
Thank you Lord for the milestone (I guess it would be a kilometer stone here).
