Lets Go Teach

This is Nathan Eddington.  He announced his exciting news today.  He received his mission call to the Dallas Texas Mission.  He reports next month!!  He will be ready though.  We are so excited for him and the great people he will meet in Texas!

Here we jumped right in to practicing teaching the restoration again in preparation for this afternoon when we will teach this to people in their homes.  For some this was a review, but others it was their first time.  Everyone caught on well and we felt the spirit as you shared.

Here is Caiden and Alejandro. 

Ryan and Packer

Brandon and Hunter a newcomer- very glad to have you!!

McKay and Tyler

After we practiced a little bit we were ready to go over our door approach for this afternoon.

First knock- 6 times was Simons magic number :) 

Then Introduce yourself.  Hi i'm....say your names, we are future missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from our stake mission prep class and we would like to share a message with you.

Get to know them a little bit.

If they invite you in, start by offering a prayer and invite them to say a prayer at the end.

Share your message

Commit them to do something and ask them for a referral of someone they know that you could share this   message with.

Closing prayer.

This should take only 5-10 minutes.

Now we went into the hall and practiced. Here are Brandon and Hunter 

Caiden and Alejandro.

Its so much easier if you have practiced and heard yourself and correct it before you actually do it for real.

Nathan and Quincy talking to Tyler

Great practicing!  You are now ready to try doing it with strangers and learn even more.

Later that day we met and sent them out in twos to share the message of the restoration.  Where to start?  Use the spirit!  This is the Lords work and he is in charge.  This week we went to the 1st ward.  We will be rotating through all the wards in the stake eventually.

Here are two happy future missionaries ready to proclaim the gospel!

This can be scary but they all did so well and acted with so much faith.

What a beautiful day to do missionary work.

The scriptures teach us to open our mouth and it will be filled.  These boys did just that.

What a blessing to see our young men learning how to share the gospel.  They are following the Prophets counsel to prepare now.  

We encourage you to bring your friends to class so we can all and help each other prepare to be more comfortable sharing the gospel now and as full time missionaries.  Thank you to the 1st ward for being willing to let us practice with you.  It was very successful and we look forward to doing it next month.

Next weeks assignment:

NO class next week because it will be stake conference.  

However, please use these 2 weeks to prepare for the next lesson we will be studying and teaching.

The Plan Of Salvation.  Please read Lesson 2 in chapter 3 of Preach My Gospel and the pamphlet that goes along with it.
