Strong converts

So last night at the family home evening, the RM who was so happy to give up the "oldest person there" prize to me asked me to tell a mission story. I told them the story of Amber, who's now at UVU preparing for a mission and testifying up a storm. Afterwards, he said, "Strong converts like that are rare." I was a little puzzled, so I asked what he meant. He said, "Miracle converts who are still going strong—you just don't find them very often." I told him that all of my converts are super-strong miracles like Amber. Even then, he might not have believed me. Hmm. This RM served in the California San José Mission—Vietnamese speaking. He actually spent quite a lot of time in the neighborhood where I grew up: Berryessa! Maybe things are different there. This requires some further investigation.
