Fame

As one of the wealthier, and probably most foreign ("weird looking"), people in the area, you'll have a certain amount of clout and notoriety. Beyond that, though, most missionaries aren't often featured on Page Six. Don't believe us? Just google "famous missionaries" and see how many of the names you recognize.

So you recognized David Livingstone, huh? Fine. Try naming a famous missionary from this century. Good luck. If you're looking for fame, you'll have to wait until another continent opens for exploration.
