While in Mexico, someone said, "I appreciated that blog because she painted the picture of the petty-but-real struggles of missionaries." Referring to a different missionary-blogger who simply wanted a pair of boots. Thinking about these boots was taking up some of her time and energy and she was worried she was wasting valuable mission time, and even blogged about the boots.
It's not fair. Because of the title "missionary," it makes us automatically 100% selfless all the time? If that was a prerequisite for missionary work I think I lied on my resume.
