I love my job!

April 5, 2014 by Michael and Jessica Richardson

I usually don’t like to announce my trips (for security reasons), but I sure love to talk about them once I get back. I get to work with such amazing people in such interesting places! Like Stephen and his pastor (pictured above). I was recently in Tanzania for two and a half weeks consulting with our missionaries who are doing culture / language acquisition. I found some of them working beyond their level and getting frustrated. I found others still working on activities that had stopped helping them move forward. I was able to help them see what activities are best suited to their ability to participate in life that’s going on around them. I love to see these self-sacrificing ambassadors with a fresh excitement and tools to do their ministries more effectively. I love my job! It does have its challenges, like taking a 15 hour bus ride without hearing a word of English. Keep in mind that I haven’t had the luxury of studying Kiswahili. As I was leaving Tanzania to come back to Mozambique I found myself strapping my suitcase to the back of a motorcycle taxi. I don’t think my driver had ever taken a passenger into the airport before. I had to show him how to get his parking ticket and then where to go. I enjoy the adventure most of the time. What adventure does God have you on?
