I arrived in Tacloban exactly five months ago from today.
Last week was really good. We achieved all of our goals.
We had some interesting tracting experiences this afternoon. We had Sheryl Pacres (young women's president), her brother Richy, and Bobong Dosdos with us. We were tracting in a nice part of town. The second guy we visited was an idiot. The next house, Elder Surowiec used an interesting approach. A husband and wife in their 40s were sitting in front of their house reading a newspaper. Elder Surowiec went to their gate and said, "Hey, what're you reading?"
"Newspaper," they answered.
"Does that have sports?"
"Yeah."
"Can I see the sports page?"
"Sure, come on in."
We all went in, and Elder Surowiec got the sports page. He started to BRT (build a relationship of trust) with him while looking at it. I glimpsed the words "Stanley Cup," so I snatched the paper out of Surowiec's hands. It was a tiny article about Dallas beating Colorado and moving on to the Stanley Cup Finals. I was amazed. I have seen many sports pages in this country, and this is the first time I've ever seen hockey mentioned. Anyway, we taught the husband the first discussion. He seemed pretty cool.
