This is a picture of the January 27, 2014 group of Senior Missionaries entering the MTC . Sister Sawyer was not present for the picture taking. She is also called to serve in the PEF program serving in the Philippines. We may get to see her again if we are called to Hong Kong for Training.
We spent most of our time learning how to Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end.
Each day would start at 8am with a general session of all of us.
Then we would divide up into districts. Our district was Bro and Sis Cook, Bro and Sis Beste,(who was Uncle Mike's companion when he was in Japan), Us, and Sister Sawyer.
In these sessions we were taught how to make lesson plans and then we would practice giving the lesson to people who volunteer to come to the MTC and pretend to be investigators, or sometimes they were real investigators, but we didn't know which was which.
We did this for two days and on the next day we pretended to visit less active members of the church. We would spend time getting to know them and then extending an invitation to come to church.
Missionaries are using a Guide to help Missionary Service called " Preach My Gospel".
It is a inspired tool and guide.
