Well, I am the best and the worst kind of missionary.
I am the best at showing love, compassion and understanding. Most of the days, patience and strength overflow. I’m the best at going with the flow and quite good at keeping a smiling face, even when I may be horrified or disappointed. I’m the best at loving people where they are, which means I can walk into a dirt hut where I can feel fleas biting my ankles and still sit down and visit while I’m fed suspicious-looking local foods without a second thought. But it also means that you can come to me after making a terrible mistake, pour your heart out, and I will still see you as I did before. Human, like we all are.
What am I the worst at?
Well, I am the worst at hiding who I/we truly are. If you are looking for a perfect missionary role model, I’m not her. I’ve got a terrible frappé addiction, and I love country music. I don’t spend much time watching TV but have seen every episode of Call the Midwife. I’m not always “put together.” if you stop by unannounced, my hair may be messy, and I might be wearing my favorite leggings that make me look like a pregnant elf. I’m the worst at pretending I’m ok with the status quo. And sometimes that results in me saying what everyone’s thinking but isn’t brave enough to say. My kids aren’t perfect, I use to think they had to behave perfectly at all times so we didn’t look like failures. But I soon realized that wasn’t a reality or even healthy. They have good and bad days like all normal children do.
Truthfully, I am the authentic and real kind of missionary.
The kind that can admit when I mess up (I’ve messed up, believe me, and so will you) but one that can reflect on it and grow. So, if you’re looking to follow the picture-perfect missionary family, we’re not it. But if you want to see what life really looks like out in the field, welcome aboard to what the best and the worst missionary looks like! -Morgan
