"I haven't forgiven you for taking me away
from my home and family in Canada."
He said those words to his parents, who are
missionaries to Indonesia.
How do we help him come to terms with their
decision that changed his world when he was
6, now he's nearly 11 and he's still says that to his
parents from time to time...usually when they're
here in Canada on "furlough".
We pray for all them and try not to over due things
so they don't get too attached to stuff that's not
available in the remote area they are based at in Indonesia.
We do simple stuff like boardgames, watch DVD's and
go to parks and read books...we try to keep it like what
they have available in Indonesia.
The younger ones don't know any different but the older
grandson remembers and it's harder on him.
His parents have served just over 4 years thus far and
will be going back for another 4 years.
At this time they will be in Canada for 6 months before
returning to Indonesia.
He has made friends in Indonesia.
He enjoys missions to a point but he's not into it
like his younger siblings... who know more about
Indonesia than life in Canada.
He's the older of the bunch...there's 3 younger
siblings--ages:4, 6, 8.
