9/03/2013 •1st week as District Leader!‏

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 -
