We have been trying to meet a lot of our members
lately. It's been pretty interesting, it's fun to get to know the members
better. We are doing this because we are trying to get our members to do
missionary work. After talking to them, we found out that they
actually have been working with people and their friends. It was really
awesome to find that out because now we can help them with their
missionary work, that is the goal anyway. We used to tract a little bit. Well, we didn't really do it until lately because we didn't have any one
to go by. But then our Mission President came out and said that we
need to stop tracting, it's not effective. There is a better way and the Prophets and Apostles have told us it's through the members. So, it was a
slap in the face but a good one. So far it seems good.
We ran into an "intellectual black man", his words not ours. He
called us over while we were biking by and he was all like "hey man, you
guys are great". This guy loves Mormons and Utah. He was going on and on
about it. He's not Mormon but he says that he is "Mormon-ish". He gave us
like a pump up talk about how awesome we were. It was pretty nice
actually. But the best thing he said was at the end. He said " you know
when people reject your message, just tell them this - you know we talked
to an intellectual black man once and you might not convert and you
might not read our scriptures and stuff but you might want to consider
being Mormon-ish" " hahaha" and then he just walked off. It was pretty
funny, he was a super cool guy, we don't know his name but we hope to
find him later. He's married to a member so we are hoping to find him
that way.
The Harry Potter thing is pretty cool.
Love you guys
Stay awesome
Love,
Elder Richards
