There is no place like home and although Tori didn't arrive in a Balloon like Dorothy wanted to, she could have! This Hot Air Balloon flew right over the driveway on the same day that she arrived back at the airport.
She discerned that this missionary work was not for her and she decided to come home. Fortunately, her sponsors will all be offered their money back. Larry has said many times " There is no disgrace in retreat." We are very proud of her for trying it out and also for trusting her gut and being honest with herself when it was not for her.
She left on good terms and they were sorry to see her go. She realized that she didn't necessarily need "Sisters in Christ" when she had a houseful of sisters sitting right here on the couch! We welcome her back to continue to help us at home and to assist in the planning for her sister's wedding.
We are also thankful that she did try it because it was an honor to have been selected. She will not have to look back and say to herself "I should have gone". Like Dorothy, she may have discovered that all the adventure one needs and the very people that you care the most about have been right here all along...!
