Yesterday we spent the entire day in the mission office because I was learning (and learned) how to compile all the necessary statistics required on the monthly mission report to the First Presidency. I left the office feeling like I had finally accomplished something. The mission had 27 baptisms in February (January saw 26 baptized), a number that needs to start climbing fast if the year’s goal of 1,000 baptisms is to be realized. Just over 4,000 members now live in the mission.
Late Monday evening we struggled through a first lesson with a wonderful family. They were not seeing a need for a restoration because they did not accept an apostasy. We repeated and bore frequent testimony, which is what will have to convert them anyway. This was the hardest lesson I have helped give since being here, but never have I wanted a family to understand as much as I did that night. It will not be easy.
