I'm reading a book called "Becoming a great missionary" by Kevan Clawson during my breaks at work. Some things i learned today... "It is better to do the right thing for the wrong reason than not to do the right thing at all." It's always better to act than to just sit around and talk about it and if you make a mistake, it's just another learning experience. Also, he was talking about what happens if you get a mission president who you don't like or don't agree with? Obey. You will always be blessed by obedience no matter dumb or unnecessary the rules seem. I think that's good advice for us dealing with any of our leaders.
Tracting: i'm kinda nervous for this part. To be honest it sounds like it would be pretty fun and quite the adventure... Especially in jamaica haha. But most missionaries say they hate it. This is what i have learned from my friend, brother Clawson. You have to keep tracting simple. If you approach a door with some deep doctrine, they'll be like, "whaa? Want some marijuana?" Also, you can change up your approach so it doesn't become so repetitive. Ask a probing question like, "are you happy?" or "did you know that there are prophets on the earth today?" I'm really excited for this! It'll be fun to experiment and see what happens. I'm going to use music... I'm going to walk up to a door and give the "we are sisters from..." paragraph, then say, "can i sing a song for you?" sweet. I like singing.
