3. AREN'T CITY PEOPLE UNFRIENDLY OR ALL ADDICTED TO DRUGS OR WRAPPED UP IN THEMSELVES?
Our experience so far with the people we've gotten to know down here is that they're like everyone else I've ever met with a few exceptions.
The desire for true community down here is stronger than anywhere I've ever been. Yes people are quite career focused downtown but that doesn't prevent them from having significant contact with others.
Maybe the biggest obstacle to connection for us has been the fact that 80% of the people we meet have a degree or two. Very smart people, very well read. And if you don't keep up on current events, don't even think you can carry on a conversation down here.
So isn't this FUN?? Having all your questions answered about us?? Next post we'll deal with the obstacles to ministry in this area that we see.
