GUEST,Em, as I said before, I'm taking a fairly phylosophical approach to the missionary part of the trip. I'm just really excited to be going.

Scott, I agree with you whole-heartedly as to which is the best country in the world. It's just such a shame for me that my ancestors immigrated. If I could move back I would in a heartbeat.

Thank you, Edmund!

Scott, I'm not going to be forcing anybody to do anything.

Chanteyranger, thanks for the info.

Peg, while the goal of the trip is to bring people to Christ, we will not be doing it in a forceful way. Heck, we may fail entirely and not change anyone's mind. Even if that happens, I'm sure that I'll still have a wonderful time. In a way this is a private spriritual quest for me because I am visiting the land of my ancestors for the first time in my life. If I leave this summer without some change in myself or my mindset then I will be more disappointed then if I don't convent anyone.
