Ben Metcalf
This training that we had from Ben Metcalf last week was so good
and greatly appreciated! He started out using the scriptures
D&C 88:117-126 and asked the question, "What does the Lord
expect of me in the learning process? How can I be an agent who
acts rather than an object who is acted upon? (2 Nephi 2:14)
Begin with the end in mind...which is Eternal life...the Atonement
of Jesus Christ...Doctrine of Christ....
We teach Repentance and Baptize Converts:
We Greet, Teach/Testify, Invite and Follow up
Moroni 7:41...Eternal life is the goal for all. What is the spirit
teaching me about my calling? To be most diligent in preparing
in all aspects...especially my learning...feasting...Study better...
prioritize...feasting on His word! Practice and make lesson plans.
He discussed the pendulum of inviting:
Pushy--------------------------Bold-----------------------Not Inviting
^
^
^
^
^
Love, Boldness, Invite..
D&C 88:73...The Lord will hasten the work in his own due time.
One of the very important training he did was on how to give
presentations with and equal balance of History-Doctrine-People.
We're not a History Museum, but we're not teaching Sunday
School either and we've got to make it relevant to the people we
are teaching... He had them try some role play/practice. After
training the first day, he stayed at the Visitors' Center and scheduled
working and practicing with individual companionships. After
training the second day, he went to the Liberty Jail and did the training
with individual companionships. We learned a lot and we've already
seen improvement in out teaching as a whole.
