ps

i really hate that byu is about numbers in the same way missions are. goals are important but people are more important than numbers. rather than having stimulating, spiritual lessons on visiting/home teaching to improve the testimony of it in the ward and to spur people on naturally, i feel like wards often default to pressuring individuals with stupid play-dumb questions (thus forcing people who just don't care to make up ridiculous excuses) and incessant reminders, which is too bad.
