A different perspective

I am beginning to see that this side of things is very different in many ways. To be able to put a name with a situation and a favela gives prayer requests so much more meaning. I know who I'm praying for, which somehow makes it easier than just praying for a name in an e-mail.
I am definitely at home here, regardless of the fact that I cannot speak the language yet. I know that some days I will feel completely lost, and some days I won't have any worries, but God is in control of them all.
