Sister Anderson and I have set some pretty hefty goals for the transfer. How do we accomplish these goals? We set smaller ones, silly! And those goals lead to bigger goals, which lead to bigger goals, which lead to.... well, you get the picture.
To be quite Sister Franson because my name is not Frank, the past couple of weeks have been... fine. Just fine. Nothing spectacular or magnificent, so Sister Anderson and I decided we were going to change that, starting with following up on our goals and managing our time better.
And here's the story:
Sister Franson: "Sister Anderson, how many lessons did we set a goal to have today?"
Sister Anderson: "One."
SF: "Oh really? And how many lessons with a member present did we have today?"
SA: "One!"
SF: "Really? That's fantastic! Sister Anderson, how many other lessons did we set a goal to have today?"
SA: "Three."
SF: "And how many other lessons did we have today?"
SA: "Three!
SF: "Really?! Hmm... Sister Anderson, how many referrals did we set a goal to receive today? And how many new investigators did we set a goal to find?"
SA: "One each."
SF: "Sister Anderson, did we reach that goal?"
SA: "Why yes, Sister Franson, we did!"
SF: "And sister Anderson, how many member visits did we set a goal to have today?"
SA: "Two, Sister Franson."
SF: "And how many member visits did we make today?"
SA: "Two, Sister Franson."
Yes. We set our goals, and we MET them. Today was weekly planning. Because we have been working hard to reach our goals, and we have reached them, we set the bar a little higher for the next week. That's right. We're turning Gallatin into a missionary paradise, one lesson at a time. And it all starts with setting goals...
"Behold, I say unto you, that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted unto him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth."
-Mormon 9:21
Have an action-packed day!
Sister Franson
