(One drop at a time.) My journal entries about offering copies of the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and other LDS church books, mainly to immigrants in their native language, mainly in Indianapolis, Indiana. With 106 translations, the Book of Mormon (along with the Bible) is a good "Rosetta Stone" for learning English or other languages, in addition to being a missionary tool.

Missed opportunity at Post Office, Fri, May 26, 2006.
05/26/2006. I went to check my mail at the post office prior to working out. There was a family in a car in the parking lot who looked like immigrants from either Africa or the Caribbean. They looked like they were busy readying a package to send. I passed by them walking into the post office, and again walking back out to my car. At my car, I agonized over it for a few seconds and decided not to speak to them. I made the mistake of trying to figure it out on my own instead of saying a quick prayer to seek guidance. The guilty feeling that came later indicated I should have spoken with them.
Don't beat yourself up over it. I think the hundreds of other copies you've handed out makes up for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think [b]logging it is part of the repentance/learning and balance aspects. If I document successes, I think I need to document the missed opportunities and unsuccessful attempts. I get a swelled head too easily.
