Day of Faith: Personal Quests for a Purpose - 3. Rachel Esplin from Harvard Hillel on Vimeo.
In our Relief Society, we have a few moments every Sunday where sisters share "missionary moments" they had that week. I'm always so impressed with the stories that are shared. Stories of simply inviting neighbors over for family night, or sharing the gospel with the cable guy because he was curious about the temple picture on their wall. Maybe because I grew up where the LDS faith was the majority, I haven't had many chances to share my testimony/beliefs with people that aren't members themselves. Honestly, I'm a little scared to do so! Two summers ago,when we lived where we now live, (outside of Utah) a girl I worked with asked me a little about our church. I was so taken off guard and I wish I could go back and re-do that conversation. Maybe not sound like such an airhead :)
This video really impressed me. Brief synopsis, an LDS student at Harvard is on a panel answering questions about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. The simple, true and honest answers she gave made me more confident in myself. Maybe I won't be so afraid now.
If you have 20 minutes to spare this is really worth watching.

That was amazing! :) She was so eloquent and did a wonderful job responding to several difficult questions. Thanks for sharing!
wow. thanks for posting this! i had her mom as a teacher for a couple classes at BYU-Idaho (before this interview) and she still told us stories about amazing missionary experiences her daughter had standing up for the church. i would like to think that i'd be able to speak the way she does. what a great reminder that we're all missionaries in our own way. thanks megs! i'm sure you're a fantastic missionary! :) love ya! (sorry about the long post, haha)
Megan,
I have found the same thing, people here will ask about the church, and the first couple times I had to answer I was taken so off guard that I must have sounded like a goof! But it is getting easier, I still have a long way to go though!
