Brought to you on Monday. :-)
"Hi everyone!
This week has been a week of door knocking and street contacting. I've talked to a lot of people.
On Friday we had Zone Meeting, and they shared some really cool stuff with us. I don't know if I've ever explained it, but in my mission all the Zone Leaders and the Sister Trainer Leaders will go every transfer to the mission office to have a special training meeting with President Burt. We call it MLC, Mission Leader Council. Then the next week they take everything back to the individual zones for every one to learn the same things. So at MLC someone from the missionary department came and talked about things they learned in a recent survey from our mission and also from things they've learned throughout the world.
Basically when talking to someone, the first five seconds can and usually will make or break the rest of the conversation or even the relationship, especially as a missionary. People don't really want to talk to religious representatives. So, they told us about two phrases that seem to get people to open up a little. ...one is "We have a book all about Jesus Christ!"
People really appreciate that a lot more.
I'm a bit over time, but I love you guys!
Jason"

That's interesting about the first five seconds being all you have to make or break a conversation. I believe that. It's rare for somebody to change their minds later.
