Combi, carne, and contacts

Hello! This week has been a little hectic but super great. Something that stood out to me this week is the importance of street contacts. As missionaries, we are encouraged to talk to everyone. This has been a little bit of a challenge but actually kind of fun at the same time. There is a poem that an Elder wrote that I think describes the importance of sharing the Gospel with everyone. 

I have my life

my thoughts, my sorrows

I have my life 

my joys and furies 

I have my friends

That are close to me 

That man over there? 

well, he's just a passerby 

He has his life

his joy his fame

he has his life

his trials and pain

he has his story 

he's a little shy 

I would never know this 

'cause I'm just a passerby 

we all have a life 

and we all have a story 

amazing things to be told 

of passion and glory 

the people we pass

in a blink of an eye 

we need to think 

are they just a passerby? 

Elder Nielson 

I know that when we take the time to share with our friends this precious gift, we can gain a greater appreciation of the Gospel and develop stronger relationships with others. Also, missionary work definitely requires the help of the ward members. I'm extremely grateful for the members in my ward who are always willing to feed us yummy food and join us for lessons.

 

I hope you all have a great week!

Combis, my greatest enemy! I really don't know how people don't fall all the time.
