Today was a zone training meeting for three of the zones, Sarasota, Brandon, and Lakeland. Sister Cusick and I spoke on diligence and not needing to be commanded in all things. I was supposed to present for 7-10 minutes but I took longer than that. I was intentionally trying to go long, I just had too much to present.
President Cusick spoke about how successful the missionaries have been, but there is more that can be done. For almost two years, our missionaries have been told to primarily work with members and not to tract. However, the members are not providing enough referrals to keep the missionaries busy. As a result, President Cusick would like the missionaries to start tracting, or personal contacting. That is part of the effort to get the missionaries out of their cars and either walking or on bicycles. Hopefully as the missionaries interact with more potential investigators they will be able to find more actual investigators.
One of my projects was to find a series of pictures from the internet of people in various situations. The idea was that the image would be projected and a missionary would say how he/she would attempt to engage the people in a conversation in 7 seconds. President Cusick had fun with the missionaries with this, and I think that the missionaries learned from the process. Hopefully they will be able to learn how to meet people and engage with them.
