June 26, 2014- Powerful and PERSONAL experiences in the Book of Mormon


Weekly Training
June 26, 2014

What a great honor to serve with you at this wonderful time of hastening the work!  Weekly training this week will be different, but equally as powerful if you let it be so!  We will be following up on training last week… So, if you missed last week you have a few days to complete the training so that you are ready for this one!

Training will still occur and attendance is required.  I will not be in attendance, but there will be someone getting the meetings started.  It’s very important that you understand what you are doing, so read carefully and make sure to ask me any questions if you have any.

Training meetings will be Thursday June 26th at 10:45am-12:15pm AND 12:30-2:00pm as usual. In 4M-409. 

Brady Schvaneveldt will be conducting the morning meeting. Please get the roll from the maroon hanging folder by my desk. Please give it to Mary at the end of the morning training so she can use it for the afternoon training. Mary Lyon will be conducting the afternoon meeting.  Mary, after the roll goes around in your training, I want you to text me who was not in attendance. After training, please put the roll back in the maroon hanging folder by my desk.

The Focus and goal of the training meeting will be enacting our personal vision of what the Book of Mormon can be in our own lives based on what we learned from Elder Nelson’s talk on the Gathering of Israel and John Welch’s talk on the many seals of the Book of Mormon.  We must begin to have consistent, powerful experiences in the Book of Mormon PERSONALLY before we can help missionaries do the same.  This week is geared to focus on your PERSONAL experiences and relationship with the Book of Mormon.  You can start this before training of course, but training time will be set aside for helping make the vision God has for you a reality.

Invitation: 
Making this vision a reality: Remember the invitation from last week was to pray for a vision of how the Book of Mormon could be used in your life… Found on pg. 110 in PMG.  Please come with your vision prepared and any materials you need to study personally to make that vision a reality.  ALSO note that if you have additional materials besides the Book of Mormon, use them judiciously and make sure you spend the majority of your time actually IN the Book of Mormon, not just studying ABOUT it.

The training schedule will go as follows:
·         10:45am or 12:30pm – opening song and prayer. Sign the roll
·         10:50am or 12:35pm – Begin Training and obtaining the word…
·         11:55am or 1:40pm – Discuss thoughts on feelings and experience in small/large groups, close with prayer
·         12:05pm or 1:50pm – go to computer lab and write Lisanne an email detailing your vision, experience, questions you may have, ideas for improvement in the classroom, personal goals, etc. (This email is mandatory)

If you will not be at training for vacation reasons next week, make sure you approve your absence with me as usual if you haven’t already.  You can do this assignment on your own time while you are away, BUT it must be one solid chunk of time you complete it in. I don’t want you to separate the time. 

If you miss training without approval, it will count as a missed training and a verbal warning will be issued. So, make sure you are there or you have permission to do it while you are away.

I sure love you! Sorry I can’t be there!  I will be doing it with you from a remote location.  I hope that this proves to be monumental in your personal growth!  I’m stoked to read your emails about your experiences!

Regular weekly trainings will resume July 3rd, 2014…..(With me there)

Please let me know if you have any questions!
