Missionaries are like postal workers

You may be saying "WHAT???" Let me explain 1. We both work rain, snow, sleet, or shine. 2. We meet lots of different people, and go to many peoples' houses. 3. We might deliver news from someone special. 4. Many times we don't receive a thank you for our work. 5. Some people don't like us. They might be mean to us. 6. We drive on the wrong side of the car. Literally for postal workers, more metaphorically for missionaries. We don't follow the status quo, we walk to the beat of the drum of our Lord and Savior. 7. Our work is tiring, and usually lasts for much of the day. 8. Usually we aren't rich. 9. We form relationships with the people we interact with. 10. (this applies for central american missionaries) We meet a lot of dogs. Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
