I just discovered this quote from Henry David Thoreau, from "The Maine Woods." I laughed because I spent my mission trying to convert the native people of western Canada.
<<I have much to learn of the Indian, nothing of the missionary. I am not sure but all that would tempt me to teach the Indian my religion would be his promise to teach me his.>>
Too bad it took me about 23 months of my mission to come to the same conclusion.
