Elder Harmon's Mission Blog: New English Classes

It's crazy to hear about all of the storms and stuff going on in Utah county, the weather this week, here, has actually been fantastic. It's been not too hot and not too cold, just perfect temperature, and only sprinkled a little bit one night.
We've had a pretty good week too. We started our new English classes this week. We started using a teaching manual book that the mission gave every companionship. Before, we just did whatever, on our own, but the mission decided to make a big push and make everything a lot more uniform and professional. We realized that a very large portion of the really strong members in the mission (like the district president and most of the branch presidents and stuff) all came to the church through English class. So, with the technology push and stuff, we've made facebook pages for all of our English classes and we're now using all of the same curriculum, and all of the areas are starting new classes at the same time. They also made a push on good advertising. It's worth it to spend a little more money and print color flyers, and stuff like that. Normally when I've started new English classes before, a bunch of people sign up, slightly less come to the first class, and then even less come to the second and following classes. This time a few people signed up, even more actually came to the first class, and then even more came to the second, and they were really fun good classes with lots of young people, and people with families and jobs and stuff.

We're still working with U__, who still hasn't received an answer or confirmation that God exists. What advice would you guys give for that?
We were on exchanges with the Elders from Tuzla on Tuesday and Elder Sherridan and I taught a few covered muslim girls (just hair and long sleeves, not full face). I learned that they're not even supposed to touch a boy before they get married, or even be alone together. So if Aubrey or Jessica ever complain about not dating till 16 or whatever, just tell them that they can't even complain.

I love you guys, čuvajte se!
