In the Rough - The Blog of Joel McDonald Jr.

So in a somewhat odd turn of events, I received a call last night from an administrator at Mission.net. The site is a collection of mission sites and missionary profiles. It’s a great resource for keeping up with mission alumni and for general information about the site. I’ve had a profile on the Colorado Colorado Springs Mission site since 2004. The administrator, after explaining how he had my phone number and after explaining how he came across my profile, asked if I would be willing to volunteer as the Webmaster of the CCSM site on Mission.net. Now, volunteering as the webmaster of the site was something I had considered doing before my mission, but I knew I would need to wait until after I returned. By that time, someone else had volunteered. However, due to health reasons, someone else was needed. I accepted his invitation and have spent some time today making some changes to the design.I served in the Colorado Colorado Springs Mission from 2004 to 2006. I loved the area and hope to return there soon. I didn’t have the greatest of experiences as a missionary though. Through no fault of the mission, I found myself not believing in what I was doing any longer. I cherish the good times and try to represent the total of the experience and not focus on the negatives. Besides being the new Webmaster of the CCSM site on Mission.net, I am also President of the Colorado Springs Mission Facebook Group.

So here’s to new opportunities!
