most people who convert take a long time going through different missionaries. It's really exciting seeing that 5 of the people I was teaching back in Gillette are now on date to be baptized, and they've gone through at least 4 missionaries to finally get to that point. Most people want to make sure their making the right decision, and most don't realize that you're not always going to be there, so out of the blue... missionary leaves new one comes in. Still we see stuff like that all the time. Almost everyone up here has a conversion story, or a my parents were converted. It seems like this entire ward is made up of first generation converts. So it's very interresting some of the stories you hear. But you win some you lose some...
Our mission is not neccessary to convert. It is simply to proclaim the gospel, and invite people to partake in the saving priciples and ordinances of the gospel. Our purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ, by helping them recieve the restored Gospel, through Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, reciving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. We invite people and take them through step by step the fourth article of faith~
