I think you have a better chance of starting a discussion that way. And the best member missionaries in Utah are willing to hear the person out and listen to their experiences with the Church before they ever attempt to share something. In fact, it's probably better not to even volunteer any information until they ask you a question!Bored in Vernalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14016611721544251941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557836022548249.post-53009308523157743932007-11-11T10:32:00.000-05:002007-11-11T10:32:00.000-05:00mcq:I was really motivated by your experiences.@mcq:<br><br>I was really motivated by your experiences.@Dr. Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557836022548249.post-56521511501728463132007-11-11T03:39:00.000-05:002007-11-11T03:39:00.000-05:00I'll answer the questions, then let you know h...I'll answer the questions, then let you know how the activity goes later: <br><br>1. Did you serve a mission, and where?<br><br>I call it the Disneyland mission. It was technically the California, Anaheim mission.<br><br>2. What was your best missionary experience?<br><br>Baptising a whole family in Placentia, California. I confirmed the mother of the family and, as an English speaking missionary, I had a hard time with her long spanish name, but it was a wonderful day.<br><br>3. Who is the most missionary-oriented leader you have ever had?<br><br>I had two very good mission presidents, and I don't recall any other leader more missionary-oriented than they were, but I think it's expected that mission presidents will be missionary-oriented. I had a bishop who is personally responsible for challenging many older couples to go on missions, and getting them to go (including my Dad). He was then called himself to be a mission president in Brazil. He's now a Stake President. Great guy.<br><br>I think the golden question thing is harder in SLC because everyone, Mormon and Non, has heard of it before and knows what you're up to. It makes it harder to actually have a spontanneous conversation with someone about the church. I'll give it a try though.MCQhttp://mcqesq.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
