Quick note to Emily...

Just want you to know, I loved the greedy missionary post. I'm not a missionary, but I've heard those stories a million times, mostly told by other missionaries. And it does hurt our witness, no doubt. Don't expect it to be a popular message, though. Just respond with the truth in love.

One thing though. You really need to come out of your shell a little bit. You know, let us know what you think. You seem really reluctant to express an opinion...

Thanks. I need the encouragement from time to time, considering the comment from a fellow missionary here. If they people selling the things were business people, fine that's good for them. But we are missionaries. Missionaries have a different calling. And for heaven's sake it is not a JOB. It is a CALLING!!

I'm done. This is one part of my soap box I'm sure I could die on.

You do have to pick your battles. But you're definitely right about this one...
