Class Insight to Power Point

Introduction
•    Why did you grow so much as a missionary?
-    Love, love for my companions in a different way than I knew was possible. Also loving people I wouldn’t normally like
-    God wanted us to grow. Because we put God first we should be growing just as equally
-    Distractions take away front he eternal perspective and when you are a missionary you only have that focus
-    We had an accountability of growth on our missions… To presidents, companions, ward missionaries, God, investigators, members. It’s gone when you come home
-    God is the most important thing so you do what is required. Now you can’t just drop everything.
-    Your success as a missionary is dependent on ability to grow. Now being home your purpose if different
-    Our purpose- it’s easier to fulfill your purpose as a missionary. We need to increase our ability to see what our purpose is now.
-    Easy to stay focused
•    Did you find anything on the mission that helped you that can’t be recreated in your life?
-    The authority that we had a missionaries
-    Being assigned to a comp or area without choice
-    Disease of spiritual apathy grabs us- maybe we don’t feel as important, loss of accountability

Real Intent- We had a purpose and we were intent on making it happen.
Accountability- We were accountable to many different people and had to report
Distractions- WE HAD NO DISTRACTIONS, when you get home the distractions were a punch in the face

•    How many of you have felt like your growth was stunted in many ways when you came home? WHY?
-    There is a gradual downfall when you come home… you always remember your purpose but distraction comes and you slowly let go of the goals that you had before. You can still keep those goals. Organization is key. Diligence is key. Blessing will come.
•    What was on the mission that helped you grow that CAN or CAN’T be in your life now?



Group Study

•    What is REAL INTENT, in God’s eyes? On the Mission or Not?
•    What does ACCOUNTABILITY look like, in God’s yes? On the Mission or Not?
•    What are DISTRACTIONS you face? How does God view these distractions in general? How does he view your distractions? On the Mission or Not?

Look up: REAL, INTENT, ACCOUNTABILITY, DISTRACTION in the dictionary, BD, TG, PMG…

Real

•  Can be perceived measured or quantified
•  having objective existence
•  why do we sometimes take our purpose less seriously when we are home?
•  Not fate- Authentic

•  No justification, No rationalization

Intent

•   Drives you through activities
•   Remember who you are FIRST loyal to

Distraction

Personal Activity/Study

Pull out your life mission and or patriarchal blessing and ponder/answer the following:
•    Who are you meant to be?
•    What is the Lord making of you?
•    What systems of accountability need to be created?
•    Where in the Gospel does your REAL Intent need to change?
•    What distractions need to be removed so you can live the life you were meant to live? And have the confidence to meet the Lord face to face?


Class Insight
•    Choose to do the things that are right
•    Importance of recognizing the things that the Lord wants from all of us and what things he has for us INDIVIDUALLY
•    Don’t hold on to things that God is trying to smooth out
•    Fear and Discouragement can be big distractions- BUT they shouldn’t be excuses for obtaining what is valuable
•    Give 100% of yourself to where you are IN the moment… no matter if it’s emails, devotional, busy work, so that you can give time to what is really important. Don’t let distractions get in the way and have time wasted

Invitation
