The next two months in his mission journal are filled with lots of tracting. There are examples of lots of placing Book of Mormon's, lots of great examples of missionary work, lots of disappointments as new investigators become uninterested, and lots of closed doors. I am including just a few of them.

The evening was a thrill. Our 2:30 appointment fell through but we met a real cool family that had just lost their oldest boy because of a motorcycle wreck. They are going to be golden. We'll be seeing them Sunday afternoon for a first.

Our evening was just fantastic. We were able to spend almost the whole night teaching. The Hansen family had their boy visiting. We kindly talked with him to gain his interest. We finally got him interested through the Book of Mormon. We then went to see another lady and she was hard to teach. She was very religious so we presented a Book of Mormon to her and she accepted it very readily. it was so nice. We came home and prepared for tomorrow.

It was sure fun teaching Sister Mokshum and to be able to interview her. My first baptism as a district leader. What a joy that was. She offered on the most beautiful prayers. She is going to be a great member.

During the evening we found a cool family. Hera Forsberg. He even prayed for help. I only pray the Lord will help us when teaching them on Friday.

That evening we tracted and saw our call backs. We taught a first discussion to the Forsberg family. They really are golden. They said they would pray and read.
November 28, 1971
We felt a change while with the Forsberg family. They accepted the first discussion and wanted more. We set the baptismal date for the 25th of December. That is going to be so cool. They sure can answer questions easily. I pray the Lord will answer their prayers.
