On Monday we will have 26 new missionaries come into our mission.
Because the responsibility to train a new
missionary is so important and because the trainer has such a profound and
lasting influence on the new missionary's attitudes, habits, and ability to
fulfill his or her purpose, a program allowing for an additional 60 minutes to
be spent in companion study for the first 12 weeks of the new missionary's
mission is part of the morning study and morning program.
The 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.
A meeting was held on Friday for the trainers before the new
missionaries arrive to teach them how to apply the program. Once the new
missionary and the trainer are together there will be another meeting held to train
the companionship together.
Our son, Elder Darby, is one of those 26 new missionaries who arrived today. He loved his short time in the MTC and is excited to begin the new training program. We'll be watching the blog for updates!
