Dear Family,
This was a very great week!
We were able to teach the first lesson to Gary. We have taught him the
Plan of Salvation and we have read with him in the past. We have also
previously discussed baptism and let him know what we are going to shoot
for. This week we were able to set him with a date for baptism!!!
October 5th! we realized that it was General Conference that day but we
will try and work it in sometime because this guy needs to get baptized!
Our ward has started to go out and knock doors every Saturday morning and they have come up with a great way to contact people. A brother in our ward created a 5 question survey. We knock on the door and say that we have a survey that will take 2 minutes of their time. We ask them 1. What church do you belong to? 2. Do you believe in Christ? 3. How often do you read his word? 4. How often do you attend church services? 5. If there was solid evidence that Christ visited the earth less than 200 years ago and gave us a message for today would you be interested in that event and hear His message?
We vary rarely get people who say 'no' and we have been able to get a few return appointments from it! As I said our ward is doing this as well and they have already given us a few referrals! We knocked doors for less than 20 minutes yesterday and we got a return appointment. This system is very effective!
I got permission to go to the baptism of Anthony in my last area. The ward seems very helpful in providing fellowship to him and his family! I'm so grateful that they are in a great ward!

We had a
hilarious experience Saturday. This man called us over to him after we
got out of our car. He said "Hi Elders, Do you know who I am?" to which I
said "no" He answered, "yes you do... I am Raphael. Tell Bishop Wong
'one million dollars'... no '250 thousand' and that's all you need to
know. good day". So we felt pretty happy that we saved the church seven
hundred and fifty thousand :) We meet a lot of interesting people here
:)
Well love you all!!!
Love,
Elder John
