No Class next week!

FYI- next week is fast sunday and we forgot to announce that we do not meet on fast sundays.  So you will have an extra week to prepare for your assignments and to practice teaching from the pamphlet. 

Assignments to discuss for February 10th:

1. Read 1Nephi:1 and discover how this is not only Nephi's story, but your story and your investigators story.

2.  Ensign Talk by Elder Russel M Nelson, Pg 18 "Ask the Missionaries! They Can Help You"

3.  Read page 176-177 in Preach My Gospel- How to begin teaching.

We had a great turn out today in class.  Thank you so much for the spirit you brought with you and your great insights and participation as we learned how to share the message of the Book of Mormon today.

We thought we might post a few pictures now and then for parents to get a glimpse of what we are doing.  

 Here is our Mission Prep Map.  Yellow flags mark where the sisters will be serving, White flags for the Elders. The flags on the side are those that are either waiting for their calls or attending class until they can put their papers in.  Our stake will be represented all over the world, including Massachusetts, Washington, Florida, Oregon, California, France, Germany, Argentina, Uruguay, New Zealand, Australia, and Thailand- I might be missing a few more.  More are waiting for their calls and we are excited to see where they will serve!

This is the left side of the room- we currently have about 7 sisters that have their calls that are attending.  They are sharp girls and will make excellent missionaries!  We also have several 17 year old boys getting a head start on their preparation.  They are strong Young Men and will do great things.

This is the right side of the room.  (couldn't fit both sides in one picture)  A great group of Prospective Elders that are on the ball and willing to learn.

And finally, Caleb Powell.  This is his last time with us.  He enters the MTC on Wednesday and will serve in the California, Long Beach spanish speaking mission.  We know he will teach with power and authority and wish him well and will be praying for him!
