I gave Books of Mormon to two families today. Both were our neighbors from South Prestwick. I figured if I was doing the one I should go ahead and drop off the other since they live next door to each other. No point waiting another day. So I've been asked if that means I don't have to do one tomorrow. No days off here-that was a bonus.
Living on base is a completely different experience than when we lived off base. When we bought our home in Illinois, despite giving away cookies at Christmas, we never got to know our neighbors. We lived there 5 years!! After 1 week on base we knew our whole street. We rely on each other because we are all new to the area, no one has family nearby and we are all in the same situation. We wave, we visit on the sidewalk, we watch each others kids, we have become family. I love it!
I've been thinking about whether I should be embarrassed about my neighbors knowing I'm giving out Books of Mormon to each of them. I realized that no I shouldn't. I think I would be more embarrassed if they talked and one neighbor finds out they didn't get one but the other did? Just another way to spin it. This way makes me feel better about giving them out.
