Experience speech

Experience Speech
Beginning:
I had been living in Paradise for 7 months, in this little town called Urubamba in the Sacred Valley of the Andes Mountains at the foothills of Machu Picchu and I had officially decide that Peru is the most beautiful place on the planet.
And then one day I got that letter that every missionary either really dreads or really looks forward to saying I had been transferred. And I had been transferred to a place called Juliaca. Now I’d heard of Juliaca before and what I’d heard is that it is the complete opposite of Urubamba in every single way. And what I learned about Juliaca is that that is 100% true.
(show pictures of Juliaca and talk about dirt, dogs and garbage. Then awesome people)
Introduce Benavente family
Talk about P-day
Then they took us to lunch
Feelings and experience eating chicken with them
The happiness they had
Read scripture
Blessings the family received
Life is still hard

But the Benaventy family taught me something important that day, that blessings come to those who serve and to those who obey.

The class was nestled all snug in their beds But the speakers were stressing as words ran through their heads It was time for these students to put on thinking caps No time for rest, no play, no naps When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter They quickly sat up to see what was the matter When what to their wondering eyes did appear Their alarm clock was ringing as class time drew near They’ve worked hard to prepare and now it’s official So let’s give them a clap, a shout and a whistle And thank you for listening that’s the end of this rhyme Merry speeches to all and to all a good time.

Familiar as Strange

You sit down Here you are once more Wondering why in the world you’ve done this to yourself again You know you really should’ve learned the first time Your knuckles clench You break out in a sweat And that knot in your stomach gets a little bit tighter All you want to do is leave But unfortunately, you’re in too deep There’s no going back now Then, whatever you are sitting in slowly reclines You look up but close your eyes Because everyone you’ve ever known said not to go towards the light Your mouth opens in fear but no sound comes out Then it’s as if everything else just disappears You’re left with 1 single noise You hear the clinking of metal It sounds as though it’s getting closer… and closer… and closer It stops. You open your eyes wondering if the torture is done But you quickly realize that it’s only just begun You’re left with a decision Keep your eyes open and know Or keep your eyes closed and don’t You decide on the second.
