Interviews: "Meet the Mormons!

On interview day the cars start arriving outside the mission home...

..and we are ready....

......with flags welcoming them here

It is interview time once again. This opportunity rolls around every three months.
Today, Tuesday September 22nd, we hosted the Roodepoort Zone.  We had 19 Elders come for interviews. We had each missionary complete a personal survey and participate in the "I am a Mormon" campaign, by writing one of their own.



I  served hot bread and honey butter while they watched the "Meet the Mormons" a documentary type film showing 6 diverse Mormons and their lives. 

We focused on the individual missionaries and had them each share a glimpse into what makes them a unique Mormon. 

Filling out their personal survey before tour individual campaigns begin.



We took time to review the "I am a Mormon" pass-a-long cards. We discussed how to use these tools most effectively. I reminded our missionaries that their stories are interesting to investigators and allows them to also show great interest in their investigators lives as well, while drawing attention to the wide, diverse population of Mormons.

Below are pictures of the missionaries as they came in groups over the months of September and October. 

Roodeport Zone! First group was the Randfontein District with the Roodepoort Elders:
