First of all, Kaylyn has finally resolved all questions about her baptism on the 24th with her Dad. I know that part of his heart softening was the many times we reached out to him, so we’re feeling very rewarded! Now there’s nothing getting in the way of her baptism on the 24th.
We’re trying a different approach to finding new investigators now. We’re knocking doors less and trying to get more members of the church to share the gospel with their friends. We’re hoping that this will result in us having more people to teach, as our teaching pool is looking a little sparse with Jason out of town this week! So far, the fruits have been slow to materialize.
Part of the inspiration we received about how to help us to solicit more referrals was to create a training for the Sunday School instructors. The hope was that they instructors would be impressed by our teaching ability, and their increased confidence in the missionaries would make them more likely to let us teach their friends.
We have a number of bad habits that we use when teaching in the church, and we talked about a few of them. Some people obviously resented the criticism of the teaching approach they grew up with, but overall it was well received and had at least one member of the stake high council speaking in another ward about broadening it to the rest of College Station. Pretty cool! I’ve attached the agenda we used for the training if anyone is curious, though I’m polishing up a better version this week. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1028PZ248DSS5no4o4B6DhFQFz1npY652KXR-WEjUVv4
It was also Elder Pacheco’s birthday this week!
