That may sound like a weird title but it is a phenomenon that I am coming to realize that many missionaries face. You may be asking what are you talking about, living in two worlds. As we have now finished out first term, returned to the states for furlough, and now we are back in Bolivia I think that is the best way that I can describe it. It is as if we live in two different worlds. Let me explain: when we came to Bolivia we worked hard to learn to speak a new language and live in a new culture. It gets to the point that in a certain way it becomes part of who you are. Then about the time you get used to all the new you go to sleep one day (the day before we left for furlough) and then wake up in a different world (back in the US). Everyone speaks what is now your new language (English) and they act really different than what you are used to. So for the entire year you get used to speaking the language, the customs, and foods and then a about the time you are comfortable, once again you go to sleep one night and the next day you wake up in what is once again a new language and culture. It is a little hard to explain, but when you have experienced it you almost feel like you have two lives. The one you are in is your life and the other is just a dream. This is not something that I am complaining about, but it is just to give you a little insight into what life is like as a missionary. In reality, there are many advantages to it, if that is you can keep the two straight in your mind and make sure that you wake up in the right place.
