Well another week is past and gone, and it has been a very interesting week. There have been some changes in the mission, some big and some small. I'm excited for all of them. First change: Preperation day will be moved to Mondays. President Sagers has said that it is strongly encouraged in his handbook for it to be that way. I don't think that it will make a large differance. Mostly, I think it'll be a difference for y'all. Starting this comming Monday I will be emailing on Mondays.
The rest of the changes are being made world wide. They aren't big changes, but they are reemphisizing some things from Preach My Gospel. To bring about the change, there has been a four day training meeting for all Zone Leaders, District Leaders, and Trainers. President Sagers and his Assistants have been giving trainings. Then they demonstrate the principals they were teaching, then we practice, then we evaluate, and then we practice. It has been a real eye opening experience.
It seems like the emphasis is to focus more on people than statistics. They are helping us realize the importance of the spirit in people's conversion. Then they are teaching us how to help people to understand the role the spirit plays, and also to help them to recognize the spirit.
I think that the instruction we recieved will help us to have people truly become converted to the gospel. I think more people will be baptised because they actually believe instead of pressure from friends and missionaries. I'm really looking forward to using it more in my teaching. The only thing that worries me is I'm supposed to go and train my district on these new techniques.
Other than that, the work moves on. I still have a little scab from my bike accident, but my head is fine. No headaches and my black eye is gone.
Love,
Elder Rindlisbacher
