Re-entry

I have decided to write a few posts about re-entry into the US. I wasn't going to do this, because the experience of coming back "home" has lost almost all meaning for me. However, I recently realized that this is / has been my first time entering back into the US after doing missionary service personally.

One thing that I have noticed is that there is no after-effect. I didn't come back to the US feeling (or acting) more "holy". I didn't suddenly want to become involved in everything at church and start up Bible studies in my home. This is partly because I haven't been to the same church more than twice since I got back. Maybe once I have a chance to claim a group I'll see a difference.

However, thinking about this lack of an after effect makes me wonder what I should be doing differently (and a few things come to mind). Moses's face was glowing after he came back from talking with God. I feel that mine should be at least a little different.

Southern has a re-entry program for its returning SM's, which is mostly mandatory. I'll write about it, posting the reactions of fellow SM's along with my own thoughts.
