Training for the new missionaries and the trainers

A new training  program has recently been introduced to the missions throughout the church. Because the responsibility to train a new missionary is so important and because the trainer has such a profound and lasting influence of the new missionary's attitudes, habits, and ability to fulfill his or her purpose, the new program allows for an additional 60 minutes to be spent in companion study for the first 12 weeks of the new missionary's mission.

The companionship will be following a training schedule that will include study from Preach My Gospel, watching DVDs that have been provided, and applying the training model through role playing; to explain, demonstrate, practice, evaluate and repractice.

Meetings are held for the trainer before the new missionary comes to the mission to teach how to apply the program. Once the new missionary and the trainer are together there is another meeting held to train the companionship together. Those who have started this program have thoroughly enjoyed it and appreciated the training that it provides for both the new missionary and the senior companion.

This is the group of new missionaries and their trainers

serving in the north area of the mission.
