Missed opportunity, English, Korean. Road Trip Day 3. Wed, Jan 16, 2008.

01/16/2008. Journal Entry. Missed opportunity. The Spirit directed me to a McDonald's restaurant. I didn't see any opportunities at first, but then the Spirit indicated I was to offer one or both of the DVD's I had in my jacket pocket to an English-speaking customer who was waiting around. But I chickened out, and disobeyed. I feared that it would have been too awkward, and I gave in to my fear instead of following the inspiration.

974. Gave "Together Forever" DVD to English-speaking caucasian-american cashier at a gas station.

975. A few hours from home, stopped at a Korean restaurant to meet a friend and her daughter for supper. After paying, gave a "Finding Happiness" DVD to owner/waitress.

Since I only had two placements today, I think I grieved the Spirit by my disobedience at the McDonald's.

Trip summary: 38 contacts (#938 through #975). 3 missed opportunities.

DVD at Chinese restaurant. Mon Apr 16, 2007.

04/16/2007. Journal entry. A follow-up. I had supper at a restuarant I've been to before, but it's been a while. I couldn't catch the waitress on her way past my table, so I stopped at the cashier counter on the way out, and gave a "Finding Happiness" DVD to the employee. He said he thought he had that one or a similar one already, but he accepted it anyway. I had left a Simplified Script Chinese Book of Mormon here over a year ago, and a "Together Forever" DVD either at that time or later.
