Hypothetical Holiday Inn Missionary Work

[LoudmouthMormon]

I've seen an awful lot of both Bibles and BoMs in an awful lot of hotel rooms across decades.   

I'm guessing the Gideons had it as a line in their budget at some point, and I'm guessing the BoMs were individual efforts.

I don't believe any one-man campaign to get the church to partner with hotels will go anywhere.   Take BoMs with you whenever you travel.  That's my advice.

How then would you approach this opportunity?

Talk to your bishop? Stake pres? Write a letter to HQ?

The first thing I would do is measure the effectiveness in some way.

Not sure how useful it is unless you are a duck farmer like the guy in the first video.

Ah, yes. Ducks.

I've stayed in Marriott Hotels from time to time. They almost always had copies of the Book of Mormon and Gideon Bibles in the desk drawers. I once stayed in a non-chain motel in Arizona that had copies of the Book of Mormon in desk drawers, too. I don't know if Marriott still does this.

Still happens in at least some according to Google
