It starts here and goes over several pages:

From page 2:
"After his therapist witnessed his reaction to speaking to strangers, she knew he needed some assistance for his time out in the field. Door approaches can be scary for any new missionary, but they gotta do it.
Since Z wasn’t responding with an on target response (squirming nearly to the floor from his chair was a good sign that the idea of ringing a doorbell and speaking to whomever answered was a sure sign he was not ready for this), he was asked to take a nine week social skills class, then wait for another evaluation and recommendation. Only then would he know IF he could serve. More if and then.
The tears were barely held back by him. I didn't try to suppress mine. All he wanted was to serve his Savior. "
How very sad. They don't have to do it - at all. Why force someone to do something they don't feel capable of?
