Chris and I now live in a world where change is a way of life. People come; people go. Friends are made; friends depart. The days of missionaries coming to an area to live and work for decades have largely gone – “short term” is king. We have been as responsible for this situation as any – with my trip for two weeks in 2006, our five-month stay in 2007 and now being back for who knows how long, but given our ages it will not be longer that a few years.
