Mesquite Zone Training Meeting

On Tuesday morning we drove out to Logandale to attend the
Mesquite Zone Training Meeting and to do training and interviews.
Elder Findlay and Elder Dowuona-Hammond did a great job
of training for the zone.  Their training was on
repentance and letting go of our sins.

Leadership Training

Leadership Training ----
where all zone leaders, district
leaders and trainers meet together to be trained by the
assistants, zone leaders and President and Sister Black
 
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.
