Thanks everyone for a great first class. We were thrilled that so many were able to attend and thoroughly appreciated the lively discussion. We all learn if we contribute.
1. These are the talks and articles that I referenced in our class today:
Carol F. McConkie
Quentin L. Cook
(Expanded version of the same talk available at speeches.byu.edu)
President Henry B. Eyring
Elder Kim B. Clark
2. We hope you can attend next Wednesday.
Our primary focus will be:
The Gospel
The Restoration
The process of conversion and
How to measure our success as missionaries
3. We will draw our discussion from parts of the following:
Activity: personal or companion Study
Study Doctrine and Covenants 109:13-15, 21-30, 38-39, 55-57 (excerpts from the dedicatory prayer of the Kirtland Temple. (Consider what blessings Joseph Smith has requested for the faithful?)
The Message of the Restoration: The Foundation of Faith (p. 5-8)
Scripture study: How should you use the Book of Mormon in your missionary work?
In what ways is the gift of the Holy Ghost one of the greatest gifts we can receive?
Why should converts desire the gift of the Holy Ghost?
Helping others Make Commitments: The Door to Faith and Repentance
I'm regretting not being here in Calgary for the run of the class as the principles and discussion sound faith promoting and testimony building. When I was a FT missionary in Quebec, personal and companion study became essential routines for our day. Searching and studying are skills that grow over time. So glad Val and Janine you are running this class. I hope to contribute another time.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed that only my first page of notes for the next class made it to the blog page. I am wondering if you can only print one page. Instead of trying to add the whole thing again let me just invite you to look through the rest of chapter one and especially consider the process of conversion, the message of the restoration and being a successful missionary. Read anything you think is relevant. Bring your ideas to our class.
ReplyDeleteAs is always the case, we won't get to cover it all but what gets covered will be perfect. See you soon. Valerie Harker
