Although (I know I shouldn't really have to justify this to anyone) I give the missionaries referrals, not because someone told me to, but because I give then once I feel my non-member friend is ready to hear and accept the Gospel.....<BR/><BR/>.....It is true, how some mission presidents are really open and somee are not. I can see this with the current mission president serving in our mission. Then again, I think this man and his wife are generally shy people. At least that is the impression I got when I saw them for the second time in the goodness knows how many months they've been here for. Still, it would be nice if they could at least try to continue a conversation once you've approached them and started one with them. I must admit though, it did annoy me at first whenever I tried to start a conversation with him at least, and I only got short, one sentence answers. His reaction was way different to my mission president, who always went out of his way to greet the members and establish a relationship with them. I totally agree with you that mission presidents should (when possible) take a more active role in befriending the members.Raymond Teodo a.k.a. was_bedeutet_jemandenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749775681608438674noreply@blogger.com
