Hey Family and Friends!
This email is going to describe a little of the investigators that we have and how we find them...
- Contacting
- This is what we do every day and is our main source of finding people
- Components
- Approaching a person in the street and talking to them
- Knocking doors and talking to them
- By the way I have a bam sauce tocador (tocar signifies to touch so in other words its something that we use to touch or knock the fences). Its the lenses from plasma t.v.s and I found it after someone was busting up a tv infront of our house and left the lenses. If your wondering what they look like they are clear stones and remind me of the Urimm and thummin. It also can be used for magnifieing the scriptures for the older people we visit.
- It is not very affective and the amount of baptisms that I have had in this way is....1
- References
- These are extremely rare and usually are from people that we contact who usually dont know there neighbors but try to help us out by pointing at some houses. We like them anyway. We also recieve references from members and this can be ideal.
- Components
- Asking everyone we meet if they have references and going to members houses to ask them for some. Recently we have been really trying to implement an inspired plan by the First Presidency with our little Branch but it is taking some difficulty starting. We are pushing our mission leader. ha ha.
- Extremely effective or not effective at all (dependant on the sources efforts to find and give them)
- This can be very effective and helpful. When we recieve a reference from a member the investigator already has a support system and a friend, we are just the teachers.
- Even if the reference is from someone that is not there to support it is very effective
- We were given a reference from someone from the states to someone living in our sector. We went to the house and said that so and so sent us. Immediately she let us in and let us teach them. I think it was about three weeks later that both the Mom and the Son were baptized. They had seen us many times before but never knew what we did. The mom wasnt there when we usually do our contacting so she either wasnt receptive to two teenagers at her door or just was never home.
- Miscellanious
- We helped a drunk guy back to his house and now we are teaching him how God can help him quit his drinking and the Mom and daughter seem really receptive to our message.
- We have another family that are progressing really fast that we were able to teach after first being personal tutors for their children in English. The Mom and three children are listening to our lessons.
- We gave service to a catholic woman with her groceries. She wasnt interested in our message but her son that we met is progressing really well and is wondering about how science and religion fit together. I shared how we dont understand everything but through faith we can achieve a perfect knowledge (Alma 32).
Thats all the time I got. LATER!
