It is becoming fairly obvious that someone is angling for a joke about the missionary lands controversy of 19th century New Zealand. Not being conversant in the history of New Zealand I would not be able to "get" it without delving into that area of history even though I have never been there and don't care about that. Yes, and there is Maranatha Village in Springfield, Missouri, which is a retirement home where retired missionaries can live out their golden years if they choose that option assuming they qualify for admission. However, New Zealand was never a goal of mine so the whole cumbersome joke fails to amuse. In fact, I find it somewhat cruel, not to mention oddly irrelevant.
Anyway, never having taken any vow of poverty, there is nothing to prevent me from buying land in the future assuming the convergence of advantageous circumstances. Given the right opportunity and financial resources I probably would buy land or property somewhere on the planet for whatever purpose without needing to discuss it first with Simon and David, thanks anyway. However, no money, no deal.
