When we were in PNG we lived our lives fully in that country. There would be times, of course that our minds would be more occupied with stateside matters than others- when hearing of a sickness or death or a struggle of some kind of a loved one. But we were fully invested into our work there. Being back state side for the last 6 months has been a surreal experience.Trying to assimilate back into our home culture and navigate all that it entails has been a challenge.
