no, they do not speak spanish in afghanistan. (they speak dari!) spanish is just the non-english language that comes quickly into my head...one that has been tumbling around for a while. volver...
i was accepted to go back to afghanistan in late april, as grad school was finishing up...research defenses, graduation, job hunting... in the midst of it all, here i go again. this time, i feel that returning is being obedient, to my Lord & my love. and for those who are wondering... i'm pretty exited too. :)
d-day is tomorrow. woot woot! three flights across lots of time zones, one looong layover (not as bad as last year), and we'll be on the other side of the world. in another world. it's a bit surreal that in a matter of hours (ok, maybe a couple days) i'll be back in that rugged beautiful country, with the people that have been near to my heart since i left last july.
the team this round is much bigger than the one last year (feel free to read earlier posts from last year's trip). i am excited to see how God uses us, with each other, with the afghan people, with the staff. here we are. your vessels of love.
Father, guide me. Spirit, speak through me. Jesus, shine through me...through us.
in silence... with love... may we point to You.
