Seriously. I've been enjoying your blog over the last few days and decided to read this 5 part post. I'm glad I did. Though it may sound funny I'm a big fan now. I'm a returned missionary after 7 years in SE Asia and now trying to get things going in business. Kindof reverse from your situation except nowhere near as successful unfortunately. Lol. Anyway I'd love to share my experiences with you over a cup of coffee some day. Once again, good for you. Good for you.

VERY early. I have felt the calling for almost 10 years but had denied it b/c i am married and have two children. i never thought my hubby would go for it but he is totally on board. i think God just had to get us both to the right place. Thank you for your insight. I must be honest when i picture a missionary i do think living in huts in Central America eating rice and beans..haha. As I explore missionary blogs I realize it is much more. At fir the idea of being a missionary in Europe seemed too "tourist" to me. Just being honest. However I am realizing it is much more. thank you so much! thank you so much for sharing your story. my husband and I are in the very early stages of becoming missionaries. VERY early.

While I'm sorry you've experienced certain attitudes from others, I'm afraid it's more normal than most of us realise. God Bless you as you seek His guidance, and if He is leading you, then you're not nuts. @Tai: Thank you for your comment.

This is an amazing story. I was in Germany for two months and just got back a few weeks ago. I was to go and do a Disciple Training School to learn how to become a missionary, and I wondered if I should become a missionary but while I was there I really felt God called me to the Muslims in Europe. But then due to some circumstances I had to return early and could not finish the DTS, I felt the trip to Germany has become more of a fact finding trip rather than a training trip. After coming back to Taiwan I wanted to continue the Discipleship training School here but I was not able to and I prayed about doing it in March, and later I felt God said that I need to learn to trust him and I need to be away from home (Taiwan or the States) to be able to do that. Then I emailed the base director at Lutsk, Ukraine about the DTS and he prayed about it and felt it was right for me to do a DTS there in January. Unfortunately some of my closest friend are not all that supportive about it, the response I get from them is more of a "you're nuts". I know they got a point but I really feel if God spoke of it and he tells me to go there then he'll make it work out. Wow! This is an amazing story.
