When You Don’t Feel It (Pt. 1)
September 2022 Village Trip, Part 1.
Can I be honest for a moment? When we first got back to PNG, my heart was not in it. An extended stay back in the US for study leave made our return very challenging on many levels. The truth is, over the 3 ½ years we spent back in the US, our friendships with people back home deepened, we spent a lot of time with family, we had a nice home and cars, and we invested in the lives of those around us, and our kids were older and more invested as well. Leaving all of that behind was painful.
