things are looking up :)

Well, I have to admit I was a little discouraged yesterday. However, any doubt I had then has been negated by this morning... I completed my first interview! And it went really, really well.

I spoke with the preacher of the church I attend here in Georgetown, and he was more than happy to help, and gave me some incredible insights. I had been starting to think that my initial idea, how modern religious movements are affecting the church of Christ, was less valid than I thought. However, he knew exactly what I was talking about and was able to clarify a lot of issues and give me background info that I hadn't had access to yet. He also lent me three theology textbooks of his to do a little more research, and they've been fascinating reads from what little I've been able to read so far. AND he invited me to dinner with he and his wife (I've known both of them a long time, so it's not as awkward as it may seem...) to talk with her because she could give me a different perspective than he can.

All in all, things are going well. :) Now comes the daunting task of transcribing an hour and a half long interview....
