Square eyes

People go all goofy over photos. There's often an expectation that the visiting missionary will show photos and anxiety if technical failures or lack of time makes this impossible. Now I don't really ever absorb information visually so I probably shouldn't have an opinion, but I do wonder how much people benefit from seeing a string of exotic photos. It only makes me feel the cultural divide and distance all the more. At our SIM training earlier in the year we had a talk on presentations and aesthetic and the lady said to only show three slides, telling the story of each. I totally think this is the way to go because it would draw your listeners in to the world of those three people. So I'm looking forward to the time when I will have three stories (and more!) to share.
