After the meeting and lunch, six Filipino elders came in the office and sat down to wait for their American companions, who having money from home had headed off to the mall to shop. The Zone Leader (from Sri Lanka) from the local Zone was just leaving with his American companion to go tracting in the area around the mission office. Seeing all those wonderful Elders just sitting there, he couldn't resist. He armed them each with a Book of Mormon and took them all out tracting with them. You should have seen the excitement when they returned. One pair had set up four appointments, another had set up one with a family of 9 people, a third pair had three appointments scheduled and the Zone leader and the Filipino elder who had gone with him had found and taught an investigator the first discussion and found 4 four that they made appointments with. The enthusiasm in the room was electric. What an inspired young man that Zone Leader is. It was such a joy to see. The American elders who were waiting in the mission office were sorry they didn't go too!
