We were planning for Rachel to be baptized on Friday, but she didnt come to church so we are done with having her be lukewarm. We tried calling and texting her and even dropping by and got nothing in return so we have to drop her. Its tough dropping people but we always get super big blessings when we have the faith to drop people not keeping commitments. I was really looking forward to the baptism but that is in the past.
I think this past week we tracted all of New Tampa area and got nothing. Tracting is not very effective and I haven't realized it until just this past week. Ever since we have started tracting the baptisms have gone waaaay down. We see all the baptisms that happen in the mission and we have been hurting. We have been doing our best to work with members and seeing if we can teach their friends. Today we have 2 appointments with 2 member referrals and both are going to be taught in their homes. True conversion comes when members are there to fellowship.
Missionary work would be a lot more effective if we had 15 million of us doing work as compared to 88 Thousand.
Thank you all for the love and support.
Elder Gardner
