Unfortunately, you guys are probably correct.
 
To Jude, spent also decades in the ordained heathen clergy, too many countries to remember. Had to live in the worst cesspool hells of humanity and experience what the vast majority of humanity is going through. Did most of my training in "civilized" countries, US, Sweden, Germany and others. My first missionary post outside known civilization was in Africa. Thought India and the middle east had troubles from what I went through there.
 
Before flight to Gold Coast, the director asked if I could borrow some string. Did I have any plastic yogurt cups to bring. Was below my radar to understand the request until I got there.

After my first trip to Mexico I had a new profound understanding
of what we take for granted every day.  I had kids chasing me 
all over wanting to sell me all kinds of things.  I was with a group
of friends, and I was the only one who had on cowboy boots and 
everyone else had on Tennis Shoes...so I had a boy chase me for
over an hour begging me to shine my shoes for quarter!  After an
hour of his persistence, I turned to him and said...

"Here's a dollar...and you don't have to shine my shoes"
 
He was the HAPPIEST little boy I had EVER seen...
