So, I might be going to Mongolia in late August, to visit a missionary friend, and when I told him, he told his kids about it. His daughters and Kailey happen to be best friends and so, when they found out that Kailey wasn’t coming, they started a top 5 list of reasons why Kailey should come to Mongolia with me. Eliana (one of the daughters) came on the video chat and told them to me. I thought they were really good!
Top 5 Reasons Why Kailey Should go to Mongolia:
1. World Exposure
2. Father and daughter bonding time
3. Missionary Kids (MK) encouragement
4. We miss and want to see her
5. Take a piece of home
As convincing and good those reasons were, I had my own top 5 reasons why she couldn’t go:
1. Money
2. Money
3. Money
4. Money
5. Money
EDIT: Ok, I got an email from Eliana a couple of days ago. Check it out!
LET HER GOOOOOOOO!
hhahaha..
aww. there’s eliana! they’re so cute, top 5 list. (MK encouragement is my fave). Your counter reasons are compelling too…
maybe God will provide a way!
You can introduce Kailey to the wonderful world of msnry support raising!!!! (seriously…I bet people would contribute…)
not a bad idea, sandra!
but based upon my research for the cost recently, i think i should have added 5 more reasons why she couldn’t go.
HAHAHAHA.
Such brilliant girls.
hahahaha.
hope you’re planning on stopping by BJ on your way there!
P. Kye!!! that must have been so gut wrenching! man, when eli and karis asks, it’s always so hard to say no!!! =( and i love p. mike’s comment. hehe wish i can join you!
