Hi everyone! I'm very sorry for not blogging more often. I've been pretty uninspired lately, so if you have any ideas for new posts, please let me know in the comments!
Alright, on to the main event...
I get asked this a whole lot. Don't get me wrong, I am not annoyed with the questions at all! But to make things just a bit simpler, I've decided to write a post on this certain topic - hope you enjoy.
Q: What's it like to be a MK (missionary kid)?
A: First of all - it's absolutely amazing to be the child of missionaries because you know that you're doing exactly what the Bible says in Mark 16:15 ~
Now, that is one cool career.
Second of all, I am very fond traveling. "Fond" might even be an understatement. I mean, seeing new lands, visiting foreign countries, touring famous sights... I could go on and on - what's not to love? (Besides the occasional car/airplane/sea sickness, of course.)
Along with all the long trips, you get the chance to meet loads of new people. Making new friends is always fun. I've once even tried to sort my friends and acquaintances by continent! Unfortunately, Antarctica didn't make the list. Let me know when one of you decides to move there, alright? ;)
Once you decide where you're going to be a missionary, it would probably not be a bad idea to try to learn the official language of that certain country. If you become a missionary to an English-speaking country, you've got it nice and easy! :) Learning a new language issometimes always a challenge. You need to dedicate time and hard work to be able to have everything down pat. I loved trying to learn Russian and Ukrainian, and now I can speak to all my Ukrainian friends freely!
Okay, guys, this is the fun part - the food. I'm not picky when it comes to food, but when you see a plate of shark meat in front of you while visiting Bulgaria, well, let's just say that you're not particularly excited to dig in. On the other hand, sometimes you taste something totally new and it ends up being your new favorite food! Trying out new exotic foods was always something that I looked forward to.
To sum things up, I'm so glad that I'm a MK! :)
Here are a few questions for you guys:
Have a blessed day,

And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."

Here are a few questions for you guys:
- If you were to become a missionary, where would you go?
- What sorts of odd foods have you eaten?
- What countries have you traveled to?
Have a blessed day,
