Never Give Up

A missionary portrait.

It's fun to imagine how the gospel will change people. The other day Elder Harden and I were walking down a street and a couple was sitting on their front porch. We talked to them and they were both pretty drunk. The woman in particular was pretty tipsy. She explained how her life had fallen apart and that she hoped to be a better person. 

I thought about how the gospel could change her life as I was talking to her and it was pretty cool to see the potential she has. It would have been easy to just say that she wasn't worth our time, but if we give up on people so easily we'll have to explain that to God someday. Pretty scary thought. I think I'll try and keep myself out of that conversation. Anyways, I just thought that would be a small but interesting experience to share.
