Training at Liberty Jail...
Training this week involved a lot of practice teaching and the
Sisters really felt the spirit and the importance of teaching the
Doctrine of Christ and the Restoration with the visitors that
come through! To start the meeting, after opening song,
prayer and announcements I talked about some issues that
needed addressing. I approached it with,
"Sister Peterson's 6 B's"
1. Be responsible...with your cars...keeping track of
your miles, keeping it clean, etc.
2. Be on time...for your shift/prayer meeting...picking
up sisters!
3. Be faithful to your duties...Kitchen duty, callings,
assignments, etc. And assist others!
4. Be a witness as Elder Peterson taught...stay with and
teach with your companion!
5. Be professional in the way you present yourself...
you represent Jesus Christ!
6. Be quick to share...Write your miracle stories, send
them...and pictures too!
Two scriptures I used were D&C 112:10 "Be thou humble..."
and Alma 17:2-3, "...wax strong...search the scriptures
diligently...know the word of God...given to much prayer
and fasting...[teach] with power and authority of God..."
George taught them the "doctrine of 2 witnesses"...the
importance of companions staying together when they teach!
He also reminded them of the Three-fold mission of the Christ:
1. Preach the Gospel. 2. Perfect the Saints 3. Redeem
the dead. They all three come out of the Doctrine of
Christ... Have faith in Jesus Christ, Repent, be baptized,
receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost and endure to the end.
We then went to the Rotunda where the Jail display is
and practiced how to present and teach using the Doctrine
of Christ and the importance of the Restoration.
Visitors Center Training...
We basically did the same thing at the Visitors Center. We
did our practice in different areas there. The Sister Leaders
demonstrated how to bring the Doctrine of Christ and the
Restoration into their teaching the visitors that come. We
then let the other companionships try it! Good job, Sisters!
