Training

 

 Role - Playing

Open your mouth every chance you get ---

tell people who you are and share a quick message.

 

 

Lunches for our meetings are always provided by a

Stake Relief Society.  One half hour before lunch was to be served

I checked to see if the sisters needed any help....there was no one there.

I called the mission office to make sure the Relief Society had been contacted and was

planning for lunch that day.  Come to find out, there had been a miscommunication

and they were never contacted.   At 11:30 there was no lunch in the making....by 12:30 these Relief

Society sisters organized, ordered, picked up, and set out a wonderful

luncheon for 80 missionaries! 

And they were still smiling!!

 

preparing to sing "....and thank you for the food! 

Train the trainers and the New Missionaries

After the new missionaries have had a few days to experience missionary life, all the companionships come together for a meeting to review what they should be studying during their personal and companion study time.

The new companionship follows a training schedule that includes studying from Preach My Gospel, watching DVDs  that have been provided, and applying the training model through role playing; to explain, demonstrate, practice, evaluate and re-practice.

By applying what they are learning in their studies each morning to their teaching
they are on their way to having a great mission experience.

Bittersweet Farewells

Another six weeks have flown by! 

It is again time to say good-bye to another group of

missionaries as they finish their missions. However, this group consists only
of two missionaries.  However, even with only two 

it is still bittersweet for us as we bid them

farewell, but we wish them the best as the venture off
for new adventures and experiences.

We love you!

From the MTC to the Mission Field

On Monday morning, September 17, twenty two new missioinaries arrived at the airport from the MTC. We took them to the mission home, fed them breakfast, and took pictures.  We then went to one of the churches by the mission office to be oriented on the mission rules, mission procedures, housing, cell phones, vehicles and a list of other things.  Somewhere in between we fed them some lunch!  The hardest thing for them on this first day is trying to stay awake!

Their day began at 3:00 a.m. getting ready to leave the MTC, get to the airport, board the plane and at 9:50 a.m. begin their service in the Nevada Las Vegas West Mission.

We are certainly happy that they are here!
