My Ego is Non-Existent Now

           I never realized how big of an idiot I could be, or am, until I came out on my mission. There have been times when I have been reminded how much I don't know. You'd think that as a missionary, you'll always know exactly what to say... I'm telling you now, it's NOT true!
             Just recently, my companion and I met a man who knows the Book of Mormon is true, but has never been baptized. Sister Powell asked him what it was that he liked about the Mormon religion, and he said he liked the teachings and the principles. This is where I come in and ask him the same exact question, but in different words... He gave me that look of, "Idiot, I just answered that question" and repeated his previous answer. Needless to say, I was completely embarrassed. I'm glad it was dark outside because I turned redder than a baboon's butt. 

          That's just one instance. I have multiple other ones when I suddenly have to speak Spanish. There was one time when I kept repeating over and over again that Thomas S. Monson is our prophet here today... Apparently the lady really needed to hear it cuz nothing else was coming to my head!
             The point is, none of us is perfect. Especially missionaries. Don't be surprised if one says or does something stupid, we're learning one stupid mistake at a time. To tell you the truth, I'm really tempted to make myself a DUNCE cap to wear on a daily basis. That way, people will be a little more sympathetic.
