Days Three and Four

The last two days have been pretty scary.  Yesterday and today we learned a few lessons and then as couples presented them to "investigators" (volunteers from the outside world).  Both days our investigators were a variation of cute older couples.  The surroundings were like a small living room.  Our teachers were watching us on a webcam hidden on a bookcase.  It was quite a learning experience. Of course we baptized both days!

Then today we practiced working with inactives.  We listened to another senior couple pretend to be an inactive couple.  They explained why they weren't still active.  The husband indicated he would probably still be active if his wife were more cooperative.  Because this exercise took place in our classroom, it was less formal, so I ventured a solution to the problem: "Have you ever considered divorce?"  Humm. 

Our class group

Happy Missionarying,
Sister Eddington

Interesting bit of info:  "Senior missionary couples are the best we have.  They are ALL we have!"

  2. HA HA HA, you two are so funny. Flirting in the MTC, encouraging divorce...sounds like the MTC people weren't expecting the Eddingtons were they? Pretty good stuff.
