Mission: Week One, Day Four

It is Thursday already!  Hard to believe.  We have learned so much.  Our heads may be nearly full up!  Plus, we have been completely bushed every night.  Tonight we have no evening meetings.  And no laundry to do, so maybe we can rest and go over “homework”.

This morning we had more Gospel App training. I learned a lot!  I had not known how to use the Notes function.  Also it was great to see how to download videos for use in lessons.  The one sad thing about this was that at one point I saw that we could “trim” videos so we could use very specific parts of the videos in our teaching.  Unfortunately I not have been able to find that option again, and had not written down how to do it.

We had some time to study and to prepare to teach Elder and Sister L. again this afternoon.  With our new technology training, we decided to add a small video.  We shared the video of the Baptism of Jesus.  Just click on the previous sentence to view it for yourself.

This experience was to help us prepare for teaching a “real” person tomorrow morning. By real person, I mean someone who is not a missionary. We learned a lot teaching this dear couple.  We have really learned to love them very quickly.  They will be serving their mission in San Diego, California.

Later in the afternoon we had instruction on how to work more effectively with the local church leadership, using several case studies to model.

After supper we had personal time.  We were certainly ready for that and went to bed early.
