A California Recruitment Story!

And I also think that it probably reduces the amount of comparing ("tent talk?") that is inevitable during recruitment. For example, if I don't have my booklet with me, then I'm not writing down what other PNMs think or say after the fact. I write down what happened to me and how I felt/thought/reacted to each chapter I visited.

That's my take on it.

It doesn't reduce tent talk any. I remember outside of one house I visited they just kept on talking about both the house we were about to go in, and how much nearly everyone hated the previous house. And no one was being quiet.

It got so bad a few girls were nearly sent to the office 'cause they wouldn't stop.

This happened a few times during ranking as well.

Also, the whole keeping the booklet thing was very easy to get around. I saw a few other girls doing it as well, but I know that I just brought another booklet and wrote my thoughts down twice..
