Week 17, Flash Back to MTC in the Park

Hello Family!

Here’s a couple of pictures the MTC president’s wife printed out.  Somebody would always take a camera to the park, and she would print out the pictures.  The really, really good pictures got framed.  These two both are Elder Semenyuk and I.  he’s the Russin park comp. that I had once.  I’m pretty sure I mentioned him in an email. 

This is us contacting an Egyptian woman who spoke English!  My companion spoke Russian and Ukrainian, so this was as good as it was gonna get.   We caught her because she was taking a selfie, and we offered to take it for her to make life easier. Afterwards, I told her about why we were missionaries and what we do.  And, she took the Book of Mormon and promised to read!  She also gave us her number so we could put her in contact with the missionaries in Egypt – bummer, HUGE bummer that I’m pretty sure there aren’t any.

In one of the pictures there’s a lady in blue looking at us.  I don’t know what happened with the Egyptian, nor the lady, but I do know this – 1) People saw us doing missionary work 2) We were giving a good impression of the church – we didn’t bother anything or anyone.  Sometimes that’s all we hope for, that we give good impressions to both those we contact and those randomly looking.

Same thing at home.  People can just see you living the gospel and know that it is good.  One of my goals is to NEVER do anything that might hurt other missionaries’ work here.  Always be a good example, and nothing but good will happen.

Love,
Elder Stew
