Yesterday we had a great afternoon chat (probably felt like more of an interrogation) with our friends who've just returned from Panama. It was good to hear about and absorb the lessons they've learned living in a different culture.
While we've lived in cross cultural situations, we've not done so without a fair amount of local support (e.g. welcomed and supported by a local host). No doubt, just showing up and making a go of it will be quite a bit more challenging. But, as our friends told us, it is simply an opportunity for God to show you first-hand how he can help and guide you as you journey into the unfamiliar. We're holding on to that hope.
So the dialogue and planning continues.
Paul
