We were excited this
past week because at the beginning of the week we had 10 scheduled appointments
with nonmembers.
It turned out that three
of those appointments ended up being no shows or the appointment was
rescheduled.
On Wednesday were attending
District meeting in a neighboring city about one hour away, but had an
appointment to meet with someone about three o’clock in the afternoon when we
got back into town. This person had texted me during our meeting that something
had come up and he would not be able to meet with us. I don’t get a lot of text
messages, and I neglected to notice his text. So we went to his house and he
was not there. We were puzzled by this because we thought we had a good visit
with him the week prior. I called him on the phone and left a message to see if
there was any confusion as to when we were to meet. He later texted me again
and said “didn’t you get my earlier text message. I felt bad that I had missed
his earlier message and apologized. As I texted him back trying to set up
another appointment, he said that he was talking on the phone with the person
we had met with the previous night who is his friend and this friend suggested
to him that he come over to his house on the following Tuesday night as we will
be returning there for our next appointment. I told him that will work. So now
we will be having a discussion with three rather than two just two. I figured
that would be a more efficient approach.
