To Complete Assignment: Email Lisanne what you learned/insights from the training below.
Announcements:
- July 4th- Missionaries need to leave your classroom by 8pm for something special happening from the MTC
- There have been complaints about teachers not letting missionaries go for clinical. BE sure to let the missionaries go to clinical.. it is ok to try and get them to have their appointment not during class time, but let them go if that’s the only appointment they have.
- June 24th- if you are picking up that day- PICK UP is 10am-2pm!!! The first presidency message is at 2:00pm and they need to be released at 1:45pm, it will be in 19M.
- Dressing appropriately- BE SURE YOU ARE DRESSING according to missionary standards. Whenever you’re in 1M you need to be in missionary attire.
I’m A Disciple
- Brady- Because- all that he’s given me. I serve him out of love and out of gratitude. I want to be a disciple because I do love him.
- MaKaelee- I love him and I know that he love me. Through following him and loving him I feel I have had a greater purpose and peace in my life that I couldn’t find anywhere else.
What did you learn from the prep?
What are you learning about your natural and fallen state?
- There is hope. The fall was a huge step to godhood and without it we would never become like God.
- I was listening to amazing grace and switching the words of the lines. Christ coming here was reversing the song.. he once saw but then was blind.
- Alma 5:20- humbling towards the savior.
- I’m always in a fallen state and dependent on Christ. Do I live my life that way? Am I too confident in my own abilities?
- I love the word fallen. In order to fall you have to be somewhere high first. We lived with Heavenly Father and we had to fall in order to climb higher.
We need to take common Jesus and make him uncommon.
We need to make special things special again.
For the rest of the semester we are going to focus on developing our intimate relationship with the Savior. We need to make him more central in everything.
We can’t help the missionaries focus on Christ if we aren’t focused on him.
Group Activity:
- Watch the Bible Project about Romans 1-4 on youtube, read it, answer the questions.
- Romans 1-4
- Discuss historical context
- Discuss writer’s intent
- Draw personal conclusions based on above discuss about your personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
What are you learning?
- Don’t put what you read in a box
- It’s easy to take things and mold them what we want them to be. This helps to understand what the real meaning is.
- Why would Paul be writing to both groups at the same time? Apostles do that today, they speak to a certain group but it still has meaning for each of us.
- We should read with the intent to understand what the writer is trying to say
- Understanding Paul and his point of view is helping to better understand his intent in the words or scriptures that he uses.
- The apostles are teaching us through their experiences
- He finds his joy in the atonement and it causes his to use his time differently
What do you need to do to improve your own relationship with God?
- If I do the same things I will get the same result. I need to change up my day to day
- You can’t doubt Paul’s conversion, which is impressive because he didn’t walk with Christ. Reacquaint myself with mysteries. Maybe not treat my study as a needed boost.. search the mysteries of God instead.
- Don’t rely so much on past things. Start over each day and ask God what he wants from you TODAY.
