Review: Sent or Went?

I've heard a comment about missionaries:  There are the "sent" and the "went."  The "sent" actually have a cosmic calling, which plays out in their mission.  "Sent" missionaries usually return with a record of success, with the missionees benefiting, and the mission being supported, often in ways that can't be called coincidence.  A "went" missionary has answered to his or her own enthusiasm or other compulsion, mistaking it for a higher calling.  Such missions consistently fail in various ways.  Any time we think or feel it is our job to bring light to the world, we probably should pause and ponder.  This tale of Richard McCullough's  reminds me of the "sent" and the "went."  After reading "The Zipper," can you guess which one?
