Training on the Teaching Center:
The meeting agenda at the Liberty Jail, Thursday, Feb. 16:
Sister Murdoch Conducted,
Sister Farnsworth was the chorister.
Opening Hymn: #136 "I Know that my Redeemer Lives".
Opening Prayer: Sister Moulton
Sister Murdock taught about the Car Schedule for NKC.
MTC Learnings reportwas given by Sister Udall. She had
many quotes that were given while at the MTC that she
shared. She said that probably the most important lesson she
received while there was that a testimony was not enough. We
must continue to work on our conversion and on our teaching
skills. "Prepared people are sent to prepared missionaries."
We then had a History Moment from Sisters Dawson and Udall.
They gave a very powerful witness of the struggle of Joseph
Smith and the others in Liberty Jail. We may have our own
struggles which could be a Liberty Jail type struggle. Will we
be able to hang on and make it through and let it get us down
and discouraged or let it refine us as it did for them?
Next, we had our Teaching Center Experts, Sisters
Farnsworth and Brower teach us some things to help us make
better use of our time while working at the Teaching center.
TC is where we teach online, through mormon.org, people
who call in, email or want to Chat. The Sisters taught us the
importance of working together as a companionship while
teaching online. Working together with your companion
can help you teach more effectively and with the spirit. They
testified of the importance of the "power of 2 witnesses".
I expanded on the the Teaching Center logistics and the
importance of seeing it as an opportunity to Teach just like
we do with our guests that come into the VC or Liberty Jail
or any of those we teach in our areas. Ask inspired questions
and really listen. Be more personable... Don't treat it as a call
center that sends out bibles and chats ... We teach doctrine. I
invited them to brain storm some good questions with their
companion, write them done and come up with responses a
guest might have given. Circle the questions that brought
desired results look and decide which ones you might try
when prompted at your next shift as Teaching Center.
George finished up the training talking about "Observations"
that he has noticed while watching what goes on at both the
VC and LJ...and then offered counsel on how to improve.
1. Be accurate with the History...use from the Site Guide
2. Find out guests agenda before going into the Presentation
3. Use the Book of Mormon more...be generous to offer one
4. Study and know the scriptures that go with the doctrine.
5. Don't talk too long as we close...short powerful testimony
6. Make presentations more conversational, don't just preach
7. Be careful what we promise. We don't know God's timing, etc
8. Don't park in front of VC which is no parking zone, use lot.
Closing Prayer: Sister Bronson
The meeting agenda at the Visitors' Center, Friday, Feb. 17:
Sister Giraud-Carrier conducted,
Sister Rust was our Chorister,
Sister Bench played the piano.
Opening Hymn: #144 Secret Prayer
Opening Prayer: Sister Saling
Car Czars... Sisters Anderson and Atkins talk about cars'
Cleanliness, miles, and do not leave stuff in cars.
Sisters Draper and GC talked about having daily Prayers
of Faith to help you focus on goals.
History Moment was shared by Sisters Harley and Lifferth.
Learnings from the MTC was then given by one of the
new sisters, Sister Lifferth. Her thoughts came from the
one of the devotionals while at the MTC...We need to do
more than just "Go on a Mission". We need to become the
"Powerful, Devoted Missionaries" the Lord called us to be.
Teaching Center Experts, Sisters Guerrero and Zarate talked
about the basics of how to use the Teaching Center, which
was very helpful to those of us that are still trying to learn
about it.
George and I gave the same thoughts and teaching that we
gave on Thursday to the Liberty Jail missionaries.
Closing Hymn: #60 Battle Hymn of the Republic
Closing Prayer: Sister Harley
