I find it also helpful in relating inside a brotherhood where there is a mixture of upbringing. As well, the neighborhood outreach is made better when we are flexible and can give in to their rules instead of insisting on our way. Yes, we DO have something to offer the world around us, but we must not feel superior…..something I’m ashamed to find lodging in my heart!
Thanks for posting this Luci!

As a young missionary almost 25 years ago I made a lot of mistakes but also learned some of this personally…..I didn’t completely realize what I learned until years later.
Thanks for sharing! Lavon

Amen. Thanks to my missionary friend for his great insights.

When I fell in love with, and married, a brown man from a developing country, I began to realize how often my thoughts and attitudes reflected stereotypes and cultural arrogance. I continue to marvel at the subtle way racism and pride embed themselves into my perceptions. I like the point you made about making friends with people from all over – if we all push past our tendency to mainly connect with those who are most like us, we’ll grow and our lives will be richer.
