Crossing Cultures Making Disciples Memoir

Fitting in

Fitting in when you enter a new culture can be a challenge. 

My parents grew up in America and moved to Asia.  Learned language and culture to fit in.

I grew up in Indonesia and loved the place of my childhood and teenage years. I spoke the language, played their games, knew how to bargain with the best. Had dear Indonesian friends. 

But I wasn’t Indonesian.

Every four years we came and spent a year in the country of my passport. America. 

I wasn’t sure I was American either.  

Old passports.
