To the missionaries of the Great Texas Houston Mission,
Our first evening of temple tours was attended by well over 200 people! Many miracles took place and a few people determined that they wanted to be baptized at the conclusion of their tour! What a great privilege it is for us to bring our investigators onto the temple grounds to help them elevate their vision to the things that matter most. We look forward to many additional opportunities. FYI: Due to the closure of the temple in March, we will likely hold the tour on the 3rd Sunday in March instead.
It was great to see you all over the course of the last few weeks for interviews and specialized training. We all would benefit from making a more concerted effort to include members in all of our lessons after the first lesson so we can do a better job of helping investigators feel more comfortable coming to church. If we can do this, we will have much greater success leading them to the waters of baptism and enjoying the safety of that covenant as well as retaining them and building the wards/branches in this mission.
We look forward to seeing you at zone conference and hope to work on our teaching of lesson 3: The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Love,
President and Sister Mortensen
