If you have any time left during your mission, even going to the bathroom should be done in your assigned place of activity. As for resting, you should also rest there. You should not go to some other place. If you have to rest, then find a suitable tree and sleep under it. If you are going to cause dogs to bark at you, you should do so in that village. Everything should be done in this manner. If you have brought a boxed lunch, then you should go there to eat it. If you want to sing, then you should sing there. Whatever the case, you should try your best in that place. Why have we made such a strategy? I have been gathering data until now in the 21 and 32 cities by using this strategy. I make the inquiry, "How did you get connected with the members of the Unification Church through the media?" Then I analyze and divide the source of contact into newspaper, radio, and television. Then I make a statistics: how many times they came to the church; if they have a relative who has already joined, was it the relative who brought them to the movement, or was it the members of the church that made them stay and tried to persuade you with the utmost devotion. The more one attends the worship meetings, the higher the likelihood of his joining the movement. Do you understand? [Yes] If you meet someone once on the street, no matter how much effort you make to move that person, it will rarely bear fruit. After just meeting a person one time, if you want to make the same impact then you have to try just as hard the second time; on the contrary, if you visit someone at home and make the same effort, you will find that the result will remain. If you go back the next day, you will find that it is very much like having poured water into an empty cup, so every time you exert yourself, the water in the cup will increase. For this reason, if you continue to exhibit a sincere heart two and three times, since you are the type of pure and righteous youths that America needs, they will be touched and feel compelled to give in to your request. Why? It is because you are very much like their children. They will be saying to themselves, "My children are out there as hippies and playboys, yet how can these be so pure? If I can become close to them, then may be they can have a good influence on my children." If they have such thoughts, then they will readily agree. They will without fail be very interested and agree to the request of the youth. This has been proven true through our statistics. Do you understand? Accordingly, if you shun dispersed witnessing efforts and make more focused attempts it will be powerful. So, how many more people did you meet... If you can determine this and examine the data scientifically, you will understand that what I am saying is true. So, you must spend at least three hours each day at the witnessing area. During your three hours, you should visit the house, ring the door bell, and say, "I came again. Is grandmother there?" But, say no more. If they ask you, "Why do you come every day like this?" then you should simply reply, "I came because I miss grandmother." In this way you should make a connection, and after that, as you give a lecture, you should not say too much. It should be a five minute lecture. At the most 15 minutes; you should not exceed 15 minutes. Then you should visit every day and through these efforts strengthen the bond. Next, for those who are useful... If you circle around once, twice, then you can generally tell in which house a good family resides and in which house an evil family resides. You should divide them into A, B, and C groups, according to such categories as the Christian group, etc. Then you should only visit those homes that will welcome you. As you enter the home, you should say, "I am here," and help them clean up the house and cook meals as if it is not someone else's house. You should use tactics that will naturally turn them around. This is how you should carry it out. (72-51)
