Email Oct 15 2012

Well this week really wasn’t all that interesting besides our meetings with Elder Grow. All the Zone Leaders had a meeting with him on Wednesday night and it went pretty good. He is a pretty interactive guy and had some pretty good topics to train us on. They were good for us but not too interesting for other people haha. The first was about us setting our goals for baptisms. Usually when you plan for the next week if you don’t already have a baptism planned your goal for baptisms that week is 0. Well he taught us a "duh" principle. You need to plan about 4 weeks ahead for the baptisms. Why we hadn’t done that. I have no idea. haha but nobody ever has done that here. So then once you set a goal of baptisms you can figure out what you need to do in the 3 weeks prior to reach that goal. Then with this there should never be a goal for zero baptisms again. It’s pretty awesome but kind of confusing when you get into the other numbers and I’m not even going to try to explain it over email. Anyways the other thing he trained on was about President Monson’s book "to the Rescue." and about how we need to work with Less Actives more because through them we will find most of our success because they usually have a lot of non member friends. Nothing new to me but I’m glad he talked about it. So they were really pretty good trainings and I enjoyed it a lot.

Friday when we had all of the Valley Missionaries meet with him from 8-2 he just went over the same things so it was nothing really new. They just figured we needed to hear it more as the zone leaders because now tomorrow Elder H and I get to train our zone on it just to make sure they really understand it. Hopefully it goes well. After that we all got to get our flu shots.... yay.... haha it wasn’t too great.

Other than that not really anything happened. We got a referral and called her and she texted us back and we are supposed to set up an appointment with her this week to start teaching her. Also J our investigator had to cancel on us this last week but he texted us later in the week to set up an appointment with us! So he is pretty solid! We are meeting with him tonight right after FHE.  Well that’s really all... love you tons and hope you have an awesome week!!
