CONTRASTING THE WORD OF WISDOM

So, a few words first before we talk about the word of Wilson.

I am sure you all know that we lost a wonderful missionary a few days ago.  It was a very difficult experience for the mission and especially the mission president.  This is his last week of a very safe and successful mission.  However, all of us here believe what we teach and we have recovered and the work goes on.

We have gone out with the missionaries a few times before and we went again right in our neighborhood!  This was really hard for us at first until we were able to get "our self out of the situation" and concentrating on the salvation of the people we teach.  When the elders started speaking at the door we were overwhelmed with the spirit they radiated.  Their words were soft and gentle and right to the point.  Then, at the next house they made us go to the door.  Of course the little Spanish we knew went right out the window, but, we had a true spirit and stumbled through a a few statements.  As we went along we begin to "get the picture" and it became a very uplifting experience.  Just in our neighborhood we have four appointments set up.

So, the picture below is a building across the street from our church.  If you look closely the yellow part is a beer hall.  The place parties most of the night with lots of loud music.  The red part is a place that makes coffins.  We thought the contrast is interesting.   So they get drunk on one side, die of heart attacks and just roll over into a coffin a few feet away.
