For those of you who have been following my annual summer shopping trips to the Farmer's Market you know that I always look for the booth the missionaries try to use for finding investigators.
Yes, they are back! Only this time they are trying a new approach.
I don't really enjoy going to the Farmer's Market late (it starts at 7 am on Saturday) but the missionaries don't like going early so I usually don't see them. But today it was predicted the temperature would soar to nearly 100 degrees by noon so I made sure to go early. It was still fairly cool and I found some nice produce. And, yes, the missionaries were there too. Only this time, instead of the entire zone of missionaries laughing and trying to keep themselves entertained, there were only two rather serious looking elders keeping staunchly seated in the shade. And except for their name tags there was no signage about the church!! They are now using signs that indicate they are involved in "Family Search". I saw no BofM's on the table. No church related pamphlets. I just saw something that looked like a family tree poster. I would never have known they were even Mormon if I didn't recognize the white shirt, tie, and name tags. Interesting.........
