furlough, not feeling like this is reallyhome anymore, but a foreign placewith foreign things and ideas. Familyand friends are here, but you mostlikely feel uncomfortable around themnow because you have changed somuch, due to the work you do. Youaren’t sure how to work the electronickey to your mother’s car, which youhave to borrow when you are home.Your tastes have changed so the foodhere is not as enjoyable as it once was.You are used to conversations aboutessential things concerning others oreven your own needs just to survive orabout what you will be doing the nextday in God’s work. Of course you havespent time reminiscing or sharing funnystories with others in your new home,but you are no longer used toconversations about the more trivialthings that folks in this country areused to talking about. What is nowforeign to you are conversations about
the next new gadget you want to get,how you just got the latest app on yourcell phone, where you just boughtthose cute shoes, and how deliciousyour last trip to Sweet Frog was. Youspend your days trying to rest up forthe next leg of your missionary work,
but you feel unsettled here. You also goto speaking engagements, to tell thosethat support you, how things have beengoing, about the people you aremissionary to and how God has beenmoving. You pack up and bring your
artifacts and unpack them to set themout and pack them up again. You oftenspeak to less than full church services,because they knew a missionary wascoming that day. You get your spiritualsupport from God and His word, butyou get your financial support just tosurvive and more importantly, maybe,mental support and love from otherChristians when they come to hear youspeak. That support means more toyou now than you may have realized.

What can be said about missionariesthat you don‟t all ready know…
You may think, “I have heard somany missionaries and they have similarstories but with different details all
depending on which people they workwith, so why come hear another one?” Well, let us try to imagine how amissionary feels when back in the’States,’ and maybe we might feeldifferently about hearing another one.
Though we realize andappreciate the sacrifice of Missionaries
leaving home, family and friends here togo make a new home in an entirely newatmosphere, do we ever understand theenormity of that and realize their realneed for support? Please just considertheir situation for a moment as if it wereyour own.
You don’t get to bring yourparents or friends along for moralsupport or get to take much with youthat you cherish. You will be in a newplace not to satisfy any of your owndesires but to fulfill the needs of others,so you will be taking with you, instead,
things that others there will need. Let’sskip the years you spent forming yournew life, your new connections, becausethat is most likely something you haveconsidered in the past, when decidingwhether or not you, yourself, were goingto become a missionary, so let’s nowconsider instead, what it feels like tocome back home.
After being gone for a coupleyears or longer you come home on

how God can work throughthem. Suzanne is primarily
focused on buildingrelationships with thecommunity, but has to do it

Christ’s love and message.Please be in continued prayer

joys and challenges of doingGod’s work in Ethiopia.

Deacon of the Week: J.B. LaPrade 434.239.8322
God bless you!Prohibitions against prayer are now common in most public school graduations. But some
students at a high school in Washington, Illinois, came up with a way around the ban.Ryan Brown, a graduate scheduled to give a speech, paused to bow in silent prayer as heapproached the podium. Moments later, with all eyes on him, Brown faked a sneeze. In
response, a handful of his friends shouted, “God bless you!”
Many times we are asked, “Who is mydeacon?”
To help you, we will list the Deacon of the
Week and his list of families in the WLBC Bulletin
— ENewsletter. There will be a complete list
posted on the bulletin board near the church
office. This complete list is alphabetical by your
last name. We hope this will help you know who
your deacon is for the year. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact the church
office.
