estradling75 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 You are telling me that I missed the "part of missionary training where (I am) supposed to leave everything behind for 2 years and immerse (myself) fully in service with eyes single to the glory of God" when I said that he was the one who got the calling card? I followed the rule. He did not. You are preaching to the choir.What did you say in the other thread about not judging? Get off your high-horse.Given that you called the other missionary smart... and imply that you wish you would have done so yourself... Makes it a valid point.You don't really get credit for obeying the law if you would have clearly broken it if you had thought of it first.

beefche Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I thought the rule was stupid then and I still think it's stupid. At least my companion was smart. He got a calling card and called home once, twice a week. Untraceable.Yes, because breaking mission rules is always the smarter choice. A sacrifice isn't sacrifice if it doesn't hurt at least a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly either he bought the last calling card on earth, or I didn't want him calling me a "copy-cat". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volgadon Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 So you agree Dad's get second billing?Should I and the rest of the missionary force from outside the USA start complaining because we only got to call home on American holidays and not on what for us are the big ones?
