Missionary Blues

Ok, I wasn't going to write about this, but I feel that to be transparent and honest about this experience, that I must.
We are very excited about being given this opportunity to serve God and the people of Haiti and really love being here, most of the time.
But there are times, when I just want to go back to Florida and be with our family and friends. Moving here was the biggest change to the Hancock family, we have always been together. Now Katie is in the states. We miss her so much. Something is missing without her.
Our biggest support has always been Doug and Linda, Jennifer's parents. They have been their for us through everything good or bad.
The hardest times have come recently, Thanksgiving and now Christmas in a few days. The holidays have always been a special time for our family and it's hard to not be with the rest of our loved ones.
And even though we are going home in January, we still have momentary bouts of missionary blues.
These are first set of important holidays here, I'm sure we will get through it, only with the Lords help.
