Being the one who stays home, it’s easy to loose sight of why we say yes to being a missionary family. I don’t often get to see the fruit, although Logan is good about telling me stories. I don’t often get to see the faces of the students he mentors, but I know they are worth the sacrifice.
I don’t often get to sit and listen to their hearts, but this last semester I was given the chance because our family is in a season that allowed it. And it was what Logan and I looked forward to the most on Mondays.
Seven of Logan’s students hung out at our house every Monday evening after the boys were in bed. We watched a dvd series on Catholic saints. The videos were about an hour each, and then they would stay another three. The questions would start flowing. About the saint of the evening, life, families, love, dating, marriage, church teachings, hopes, dreams, wounds, healing. It was so beautiful.
We get one more year with most of them, and I’m so looking forward to it!
