culture.

These past few weeks we have been doing culture studies to prepare for outreach. This week we have been having short teachings on different things to help us with culture shock and just being on outreach.

The #1 thing that locals say missionaries could have done better on is not acting like their own culture was better and that they were better. Here are some good quotes to go with it.

Serving while holding an attitude of superiority (even unconsciously) is like, as someone has said, "trying to push a bus while sitting inside of it."

Some saints cannot do menial work while maintaining a saintly attitude, because they feel such service is beneath their dignity. -Oswald Chambers
