Everyone!
I gave my first workshop this last Monday about our
calling/purpose and we discussed how to become set apart and consecrated.
At the beginning there wasn't enough participation but at the end there
was too much of them talking and the topic of discussion started to wander.
Afterwards Elder Ratu (one of our Zone Leaders) gave some really good
advice - (took a little time to answer the less-active who bothers me with
questions every time and taps my shoulder every two minutes and I have to take
email time to answer questions) - anyways Elder Ratu suggested that I figure
out what I want them to do as a result of it and make sure that everything goes
towards that. I've also found out that I need to give a little summary
before so they know where the lesson is going and then ask good questions- I'm
still working on how to ask those and what to ask for in such a way to help
them contribute while controlling the subject and direction- i guess it'll come
with time and practice.
It's interesting being with Elder Painchaud - he's from Quebec
and they mainly speak only French there - he has ok english but now he's
learning Visayan on top of that! he's not stressing about it though -
He's worried a lot more about having the apartment spotless:P We're working
on improving with how he says stuff and me and my teaching skills.
I'm trying to learn how to become best buds with him but I'm not
sure how to do that because I've never had anything like that. I really
don't know - I guess I'll just try to find out about him and his life.
Right now we're trying to figure out how to inspire the
less-actives to fulfill the commandments and inspire the actives to fulfill
their responsibilities. What inspires you to fulfill your church
responsibilities?
That's about it for now -
