Why I love being a Missionary

September 9th, 2006 · 3 Comments

Without further ado here is a Geo Map Overlay of the traffic to my site.

And to follow up the map here is an excerpt from an email I got this morning.

I’m J—– l—–’s friend from Vernon, bc, canada….that’s a mouthful…
She mentioned that you guys might be up to meeting me where you are in Spain, maybe with some floor space for me and my sis or maybe just time for showing us around a bit????? That would be soo fun…. but just let me know….i think i read on Beth’s blog that you’re not there right now so that’s fine if you won’t be. we’ll probably head that way in our travels late september.
hopefully i’ll be able to get to a comp somewhere just before to let you know where we’re at if you’re able to have us!!!
sweet.
maybe i’ll see ya all soon

Firstly, the names have been removed because I hardly think it’s polite to publish private correspondence online for everyone to see, so don’t worry Marsha your identity is safe with me. Secondly, yes these are girls from Canada that are coming to Spain, but really, I am almost tired of hanging out with just girls. This point doesn’t excite me at all.

I love being a missionary because I constantly get to meet new and unique people. The dots on the map is a fairly accurate representation of the people that I know or people that people I know, know. There just should be a few more dots in Europe. And the email represents the boldness people have in making requests of complete strangers.

There you have it, I love being a missionary.

    Glad to hear its only ‘almost tired of hanging out with girls’ and not completey tired!!! You’ll appreciate the ‘male quartet’ that will be arriving in weeks. Enjoy your time to the utmost.

    I’m glad you “love being a missionary.” ‘Cause I’m not so big on the idea right now. And thanks for being so nice about the whole “girl” thing. I know we’re detestable, but you’re not so great either. Get over it.

    Beth, you’re so level and dependable. I think I would miss if you never came back.
