Right now our primary investigators are the following:
The
work goes well here. Wilson is informally referred to as the land of
miracles. It is one of the most convert rich areas in the mission.
However,
right now we are focusing on strengthening the ward. The ward is
amazing and relatively receptive to missionaries (we get fed at least 3
to 4 times a week. This next week is every night!) but we want to help
them realize that what they have is for everyone. There is nothing more
important than member referrals. I can just see how much better Erika has
gotten on with her boyfriend (now fiancé) strong in the gospel. It
seems so fruitless to try and contact randomly to invite people to see
what they have never experienced. It is the problem of the church that
we don't see the impact we can have until we are in the midst of a
different part of life. Just like when I was RS president of my YSA
ward, I finally comprehended the importance of visiting teaching. And
now as a missionary I comprehend the integral nature of member
missionary work. Without members we are just knocking on doors hoping to
find "goldens".
So that is what we want to emphasize in this area, sharing the happiness that I can see in the ward, that EVERYONE can see in the ward with all those people they know, who might be content in their lives, but who could have so much more.

The church is true. This gospel is true. Share it.
To end with a funny story:
I went tracting for the first time. My first "take the lead" door was a Jehovah's witness. Oh the irony.
