Yesterday we worked hard on our studies so that we wouldn't embarrass ourselves again with the young Elders and Sisters. We even real played a lesson with each other.
Felt good about our progress.
When we finished I packed a lunch because we wouldn't be back till evening and off we went visiting. We located 11 people, 4 of which had moved 1 no trespassing 6 no answer and 1 whose father had not been to church in 30 years and we talked to the son who said he doesn't believe in God. Still we felt we had made progress.
On our adventures we come across many panhandlers on the exits. Today there was a gentleman who had a very terrible facial disfiiguration and he was going from car to car begging. I hid my face and said to Bob, "I don't want to look. I think the other day I looked and we stopped to give.
That evening we met with our branch president and we talked for an hour. He gave us an assignment we will be working on in the next week.
That night I could not slept because I kept seeing the begger on the street. I heard the song " Because I have been given much" and A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief. I thought to myself that I pray to help those in need and I wear the Savior's name on my chest but I turned away.
Where did the Savior go to serve?
In the morning I decided that I would make these little gift bags with things that these poor in spirit and of earthly possessions might like. I know they want money but I will give them a gift of Christ's word and something to show I care. I will not turn my face away again as long as I represent the Savior.
We can all share the light of Christ.
