A Day in the Life
Today I had a pretty accomplished day. Here is the rundown.
Out of the 38 churches I called today:
I got 17 answering machines.
I got 6 "no answers".
I talked to 15 pastors or secretaries.
I set up 2 meetings, and had two more "probables", and set up a lunch with one pastor.
As a result of todays calls I sent out 8 e-mails, and will send out six packets, so far.
This is the life of a missionary on deputation. As I was half way through the day, I realized that I was having fun! Tomorrow morning I will hit the phones again. My goal is to have a meeting for every Sunday and Wednesday in 2005. So, I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Yeah, there are definitely aspects of this that I enjoy more, but I realized that here I was, at my house, making progress toward getting to Brazil, and not in some greasy kitchen saying "you want fries with that?"

I'm glad that's "fun" for you. :) Those were some of the more frustrating days of my life.
However, I have to admit I had some "fun" days in there as well. I just never found the telemarketing aspect of support raising to be the most rewarding end of deputation. Unfortunately there isn't too much alternative.
