Acclimation!

Missioners,

Welcome to the new HBUMC Missions blog. We've created this site as a way for us to share thoughts, photos and random postings from our experience in Guatemala, Costa Rica -- as well as future mission trips. Let's also use this site as a recruiting tool for the rest of the congregation.

I haven't spoken to every one of you, but I've had a tough week acclimating to everyday life back in Raleigh. I'd like to think I could blame it on Daylight Savings Time, but I think it's something much bigger than that. Here's a recap of a conversation I had with my wife on Sunday afternoon:

Lisa: "Are you glad to be home"?
Nelson: "I'm really glad to see you and the kids but I'm not sure I am glad to be home...."

I've ordered the DVD "Recycled Life" that John Cates referenced and think we should watch it as a team. Also, check out www.safepassage.org, a non-profit that focuses on children of families working in the GC dump.

See you Sunday at Lighthouse.
