Advice from former missionary couple

This was a presentation by a Senior missionary couple who had served several missions. Unfortunately I didn't write down their name.

Say hello to everyone.
Call on your new neighbors.
Learn their culture.
Let them show you the local attractions.
Where can I be of service?  Graffiti removal
Random acts of kindness. Write thank you notes, give bottles of water
School, retirement homes, hospitals, other churches, charity events
