Yeah. I think the only similarity is that the church and the gospel is the same everywhere you go. I lived in four different, five different countries in my life now like Italy, Ireland, Scotland and England. The gospel is still the same everywhere. The doctrine doesn’t change. The biggest differences are how the culture of the church is perceived.
I’ll give you an example. In Ireland, missionaries were not ever invited to member meal appointments because they were all only focused in finding people because the church is not that big, and so there’s not many members, but when you come here to England, then inviting the missionaries over for a meal for a lesson is a big thing.
And for example, now that I’m the ward mission leader in my ward, that’s something I’m focusing on with the missionaries to have that member missionary relationship and, and Italy’s the same thing like having the missionaries at home is a great blessing. Like, you could see my mom cooking every Sunday, these big, big meals for the missionaries because it was that she was really grateful to have them in, in the place where she was.
And so just that relationship that the members have with the missionaries, a big impact that I’ve seen in different parts of the world, but at the same time, like the culture that there is a church and I don’t know like any examples that come to my mind right now, but just the culture in general is very different everywhere you go. So I visited America last year. And so it was it was very different as well. Like the church really big and everybody was very welcoming and things whereas when you go to Europe isn’t kind of not the same.
