Not a missionary

     I went to "missionary training school."  I'm considered an official church missionary.  When I told one woman about my work in Haiti, she excitedly turned to her husband and exclaimed, "Erin is going to be a missionary!"
     But I'm not.
     I'm not a missionary and I don't want to be.
     Here in America, I'm a teacher.  My life is dedicated to loving children for Christ.  I help kids with homework, teach dance, and tell people what Jesus did for them on the cross.
     In Haiti, I'll be a teacher.  My life will be dedicated to loving children for Christ.  I will help kids with homework, teach dance, and tell people what Jesus did for them on the cross.
     But I won't be a missionary.  I'll just be me.
