I feel like I cannot process anything that has happened in Africa. I think it will be harder to come home then it was to come here.
It feels normal to me even when everyone is staring at me because I look different. It's normal to hear different languages and to not understand. On Sundays, it's normal to sit through a 4 hour church service.It's normal to sleep in a sleeping bag and to not be able to drink water from the sink or in the shower.Seeing lots of bugs is normal and so is wearing the same clothes over and over.It's normal that people smell like arm pit and like to drink milk straight from the animal. In Africa it's normal to see a baby on it's mothers back riding on a motorcycle. It's also normal to get crammed into a small van with a driver who likes to go fast and swirve around puddles and huge bumps, thinking that will provide a more comfortable ride.
I won't realize what has happened until it's gone. I live life in Africa wih a mindset that this is how they live. God made it so easy for me to adapt to this new Culture. It's not strange living in Africa, I kinda like it!
