Referring to the title, one day this week we were in the street and this drunk guy came up to us and started to flirt with me. Really uncomfortable. Never wanted that to happen again but...... two days later we were walking to lunch and a drunk guy on a bench started hitting on us as we passed. Never has that ever happened to me until I got here and hopefully it never happens again.
So that was pretty interesting. We had a Multi-Zone Conference and Elder Zeballo came to talk to us. He's from the area seventy for central america. It was pretty cool and I learned a lot. It was kinda hard to focus becase they had the A/C cranking full blast and I don't have a suit jacket so now I understand how my sisters and mom feel during sacrament meeting...... well also I started to feel really terrible like achy bones and well my whole body was achy and my nose started to run and a whole lots of other stuff. It was one of the longest meetings of my life because I was super miserable. But I learned a lot for the part that I could pay attention. One thing that I did learn is that I shoudn't have fear. As a missionary it is critical that I open my mouth and share with everyone! I've passed houses and feel like I should stop but there are people outside and I get nervous/afraid and then we pass the house and a little ways down the street I want to return and talk to them but it's too late. Probably a missed opportunity that I could've helped my Father in Heaven with one of his kids here. As we put our fears aside God will put us on paths to influence the lives of others to help them be happier and in return we feel the joy that comes from serving. DON'T BE AFRAID!!
Love you all!
Elder Beardall
