Missionaries who choose to instruct investigators to compare truths in the Book of Mormon and Bible should not be surprised if the investigator later tells them that he or she feels that the Book of Mormon conflicts with the Bible and he or she is no longer interested.
When missionaries are weak or vacillating in their requests for prayer or if they do not prepare the investigators properly, relatively few investigators will pray at the end of the first discussion.
Missionaries don’t even need to set a date with some investigators; the big issue is that they desire to work towards baptism and realize what they must do to prepare for it.
