Generally, good contacts don't have to be "countered." Rather, the Spirit has been teaching them, and they believe most of what the missionaries are teaching. I don't see how countering anti-Mormon claims can actually help a missionary. Do they teach this "countering" in the mission home, or do they teach that the missionaries are to avoid arguments over doctrine, and to stick to basics? John W.
