Culture shock? Avance




Tracey went to meet the Avance, formerly Spearhead, short-term missionaries.  Her time was spent teaching them about the feelings that they were already experiencing, “culture shock.”  She’s given this talk to many young people over the years to help them to understand why suddenly their enjoyable experience in Mexico goes sour.  It just happens that this was the way I first met Tracey.  While I wasn’t going through culture shock, she invited me anyway.  And that is how I got to know her and her work with Spearhead.  Culture shock isn’t fun, but it sure did open the door to a long lasting and enjoyable relationship with my wife.
