Our theme was “C” THE CHANGE. We
wanted to missionaries to think about ways they could change as well as ways
the mission will and should change.
Sister Mayorga led off with a review of energy drinks (no!) and green
vegetables (yes!). Elder Kelley showed
videos on bike safety and intersection safety.
President Baker introduced our topic by talking about how missionaries
should show support for their new Mission President. He also reviewed a talk by Tad Callister on Consecrated missionaries. Elder Callister said there were 5 things they
should lay on the altar of sacrifice:
disobedience, fear, romantic passions, pride, and negativism.
Sister Baker talked about the Character
of Christ. She focused how much our Savior loves us and
how he wants to forgive us. She used the
parable of the Loving Father (prodigal son) as one example and the story of
Abigail in 1 Samuel 25 as another. We
then had two break-out sessions: The
Assistants taught Change
(Repentance) as it applies to missionaries and investigators and our new Sister
Training Leaders taught Cordially
Invited to teach missionaries how to help people getting baptized invite all
their friends and family to their baptism.
After a delicious lunch provided by three different Stakes, we had 6
missionaries called out of the audience to bear their testimony and an
experience they had with repentance in their lives. President Baker closed by showing a video of
Elder Scott’s talk from Oct 2010 General Conference “The Transforming Power of Faith and Character.” President Baker then
took some time to explain how “Consistent Correct Choices” as described by
Elder Scott had shaped his own life. He
took some questions from missionaries for a half hour at the end.
