Why We’re Here
  • Mary- working with missionaries is amazing.. even when I’m having a bad day the missionaries can uplift me. But the real reason why I am still here is because of all of you. I love my co-workers and watching them grow in the gospel. 
  • Kaeley- The impact that was given to me while I was here helped shape me as a missionary. I wanted to come and make a difference in the lives of missionaries. The MTC came into a time in my life when I need spiritual strength. I love being here and being able to feel the spirit here every day.

Review results from the Technology Survey

Discuss thoughts you may have had while we discussed the survey or impressions from the principles we discovered.

Thinking Activity:
Think of one specific example of what it would look like to employ the 4 Safeguard principle (in red above).
After thinking of those think of what it would look like to employ the principles we found (the other stuff above)

Invitation:                                                                                                                           
Training on applications for US… our ideas for applications are inhibited for our knowledge of what’s out there and available.
For the next two weeks try to use technology more. Experiment with it. Use only that if you can. Figure out how you can use it.
