(This is Elder Blackham's response to his grandmother's question, "What did you learn from your last area?"
You asked me to report
the things that I've learned. In my last area, I think one of the things
that I learned the most was the importance of being obedient even when
it's awkward or puts you in a wierd situation. With the previous
missionaries that were in my last area, they developed inappropriate
relationships with the members who worked with them. For example, they
would let them into the missionary's home, stay up late chatting with
them. It was hard for me to come in because I had to change the
traditions that the members were already used to. I was scared because I
didn't want to offend them but found great strength. I mentioned to
them that we were trying to be obedient because we needed miracles in
the work. As we talked to them, the members were actually understanding.
I found the only thing holding me back my own doubts. We've got to
obey, and I know the Lord will provide a way.
love,
Elder Blackham
