October 3 Weekly Update

Announcements

Missionary Meals

Hello Taylorsville 23rd Ward! We are your new Sister missionaries. Our names are Sister Rasmusson and Sister Matelau. Please feel free to contact us at (801)-755-9390.

We would love to get to know every member of your ward! We can meet with members any day between the hours of 1-3 pm and 8-9 pm. If you would like to set up a time to meet, call or text us, and we will arrange something.

As you all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a lot of things to change with missionary work and us missionaries. We recently had a major rule update that will be in effect permanently. To be clear, these changes are not due to COVID-19, but are changes in the Utah Area for Missionary Standards. These changes will definitely affect the normal way of doing things with missionaries. We know that these changes can be hard but we do recommend that you prayerfully consider these changes.
These changes are meant to help each of us (members and missionaries) join together more closely in this great work in normal and natural ways. Therefore, we ask that you support the area authority Seventy in this new method of finding.
The following changes will be effective 9/1/2021:

From 5-8 pm, we will be focusing our time towards finding new people and teaching nonmembers
We will be trying to schedule all of our member lessons between the hours of 8 and 9 pm, whenever possible.
Missionaries (us!) can accept an invitation to eat with members in their homes on Saturday and Sunday but the focus should be on eating with nonmembers, part-member families, and less-active families, and not merely socializing with fully-active members.
We will try to keep interactions to 45 minutes at most.
The decisions on which members’ homes to attend will be coordinated between us, the Ward Missionary Representatives, and the family providing the meal!
We will eat for part of the time and the rest would be devoted to us to share a brief message centered on Jesus Christ and how we can grow our faith!
We may eat dinner with members and their families during the week if a nonmember is present!!!
We have been asked that ward lists are not created in Relief Society or Elders Quorum. Though this has long been a tradition, we ask that you contact us about a time directly if you would like to share a meal during a weekday with us and a non-member.
We can also eat lunch with members in their homes any day of the week as long as a nonmember is present!
These interactions will also last for about 45 minutes at most.

Let us know if you have any questions!
