I am reading The Power of Everyday Missionaries: The What and How of Sharing the Gospel by Clayton M. Christensen. The chapter I read this week gave many stories of effectively sharing the gospel with people that are well off. I served my mission in Micronesia Guam Mission. The people there live in very humble circumstances and are generally more open to learning about the gospel. I have always pondered the best way to teach people that are financially well-off. Christensen's solution is to approach them with ways they can help the church through service.
In the networking exercise I did in Communications in Organizational Settings class, I came up with questions and then asked my peers what their thoughts were. I enjoyed hearing their advice, but more importantly, I like offering my advice, especially if I had a personal experience with their question.
From my reading and my in-class activity, I have learned that people have a desire to assist others. This is key in my life because I am working on choosing internships and a career. My path through school and into a career is still unclear, but many people have gone ahead of me and can give me advice. I will more confidently approach successful businessmen because we all have a desire to help.
