There is a friend of mine who was complaining about LDS members coming without calling. This only started happening after they left the church.
I was like , "HEY! SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!" because I am a loud person, and I yell everything.
Anyway, we got the response from an RM that:
"As a Mormon missionary, we always preferred to make unannounced visits in person instead of calling. From my perspective at the time, our goals to teach people and commit them to meetings were much more reachable if we could talk face to face. This was especially true for inactive members. "
We all still agreed that picking up a phone and catching us coming out of the shower (which would ALWAYS happen to me) or during dinner is not very polite.
Is it worth it to come unannounced?
Do you actually have better luck talking to us that way?
In all honesty, I was nice to them, but they picked up I was not interested, and I sent my BF to talk to the missionaries. He is very assertive where as I am not.
I guess my main question is, because we are inactive, does that mean that you can't call us on the phone anymore? I am just as polite on the phone or in an email as I am in person. I will not lash out. I will just politely say I don't want a visit today. I will call you when I am ready.
