Nine of us went out with maps and the information the Area Teaching Committee had given us from the initial collective teaching project. There were 8 adults and 1 youth. We divided into groups of 3 and set off on our assigned routes. In all we re- visited 26 homes where people were actually home or answered their doors. A few people were not interested in talking to us, but several said they absolutely will come to devotions at my house this Thursday, Jan. 3. We gave out 6-9 little selections of prayers prayer books and 1 in Spanish. At the home of the man who does my lawn, he and his family were not home but his neighbor said that he knew about the children's classes and is "thinking about" bringing his children. He said he'll come talk to me. One of the junior youth animators and I are going out again this afternoon to re-visit a few more homes.
Our Assembly has decided that this will be a regular activity- each 2nd & 4th Sundays, after study circle/ junior youth & children's classes, we will re-visit families in the neighborhood. An assembly member walked every street and wrote down every address so we can have very detailed maps. This is a very exciting time for our community and our hope is that more community members will join in!
