I'm not saying it wasn't hard and that there wasn't a lot of rejection, but the successes made it all worth it.
Now, possibly, the reason I was into tracting was because I served in some areas where the members were complete doo-dahs and I realized that the member-missionary thing wasn't going to be happening. Maybe I would have felt different in other areas.
By the way, my tracting stories are a thousand times more kick-ass than my referral stories.
Anybody else like tracting or am I a freak?

I do agree that some of the best mission stories I have are from tracting. Both in terms of success and just plain humor.
