to teach is to be taught

So, I had an amazing opportunity to go out with the sister missionaries in my ward :] I was quite nervous at first, because I didn't know what to expect (I figured I would have to teach something or bare my testimony to complete strangers :/ ). We knocked on a few doors of people who might be potential investigators, but they weren't home. So, we ended up going to two homes of people who were already members. The first lady was an older woman, who talked about her job and how she re-decorated her home all by herself! (might i add, she layed the tile with no help!) I thought it was pretty impressive. The second home we visited was a family who just got baptized. I didn't have much to say to them, so i just listened. The man who lived there said something that really struck me: "I never knew how far away I was from Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father until I found them again." It really made me think...hmm I'm so blessed that I never strayed far from them. I think I learned a valuable lesson that day to not take the gospel for granted. It was really awesome experience, not really what i had initially expected and instead of teaching i was taught!
