6 Weeks Remaining -February 16, 2014

February 16, 2014

各位好 ,

So this week we changed up our approach a little bit and spent a lot of time identifying less actives members. Then we tried getting in contact with them because:

 A. there are so many of them (our ward was the highest baptizing ward in all of Taiwan 2 years ago, but only a few of them are still active today) and

B.  we've been street contacting and tracting like crazy but getting nothing. So we feel like this will be a more effective approach to finding people to teach and baptize.

So last week, we met with a less active member who has been a member for 20+ years and has the Melchizedek priesthood and everything. He got offended a while back in his previous ward and has never been back since. So we called him up this past week and he said that he usually rejects missionaries and members that try to call him. He said that for some reason this time he felt ready to come back and ended up meeting with us. We had a good lesson with him and he's going to start coming back to church soon. Also his wife and daughter aren’t members and he's going to start bringing them to church too.

An interesting fact of the week.... this could be wrong but there is a city in our stake where we hold zone meetings and stuff at that is supposedly the highest populated per square foot area in the world. Crazy!

Have a good week!

Love,

Elder Chatman
