Missionaries are a.....different breed....

Chuck and Terry are in the 'missionary loop' now and some of their friends and co-missionaries are very interesting people....
Take 'Bro Eddie' for instance....going on the missionary field at 29 was quite an adventure...being one of Chuck's 'best friends' , Chuck took him along to a nursing home visit when he was back from Africa on 'break' . There was one patient which they visited that was 'terminal serious' so Bro. Eddie and Chuck prayed fervently for her...
The next week Chuck went back alone for his normal visit and went into....an empty room.
Thinking she had 'gone to Heaven', he went to the next room and lo and behold, there his 'terminal patient' was....sitting with her friend and watching The Jerry Springer Show!
Yep, these boys know that 'Higher Power'...
Below is a link to a You Tube video from such a young missinary family...
The young Taylor Family has 4 children........
View their humerous video to see 'normal-abnormal' life of this Family with a ....Mission.

Another one....which has a song you will sing again and again..."Oh, Lord, please don't send me to Africa!" Wonderful people.....these Missionaries!
